“The unexamined life is not worth living.” - Socrates

Amir Joy brings us, A Treatise of Morality: Morality Uncovered: Everything one needs to know about morality: From the Philosophical chronicles and Empirical aspects to the Biological and Neurological aspects of morality.

Woah! That is a lot! Amir has us completely covered on the topic of Morality. What is it, anyway? Morality is defined as the differentiation of intentions, decisions and actions between those that are distinguished as proper and those that are improper.

Amir takes the reader on a deep dive through history and covers Morality from Ancient Civilizational laws to Niccolò Machiavelli to Empirical studies and theories to capping off with the biological and neurological aspect of the concept. He wraps up the book with answering the question, What can the brain tell us about moral judgements? and To what extent are we in control?

Pretty intense stuff but super interesting! Your quest to learning all you need on human morality and moral judgement can begin today with grabbing a copy!

A very interesting read. Amir deconstructs morality by diving into the various religious, past philosophies and researching famous philosophers. If you are a religious person, read this book with an open mind. I quite like the amount of research and detail Amir has gone through in this book to help us understand what is Morality and what is Good. A good read 🙌

I didn't thought this book will going to be this good. It was , as you might expect , engaging , a total different piece of wisdom from every aspect.
It sets a very high bar for whatever he does that comes next.
