Summary

Humanism and Ideology focuses on the philosophical problems that confront the humanist who also wishes to be an ideologue, who wishes to claim that certain ideals are worthy of regard by all mankind. The problem of ethical skepticism is of central importance to the book's discussion. Questions as to whether belief in ethical truth is compatible with tolerance; the relationship of natural law to natural right; and the relationship of happiness to moral goodness are all examined by drawing upon the ancient philosophers, particularly Aristotle, as well as upon contemporary analytical philosophy.
