PURPOSE OF LIFE (Portable Document Format (PDF)) ebook download Jack Brannigan

The Purpose of Life

As economic conditions and education levels improve in developed societies, religious organizations will inevitably disappear, creating a huge vacuum. The resulting question will be how to define, promote, and enforce moral values when this has been done by religious organizations for centuries.

While many have criticized faith-based thinking, few have offered viable alternatives that satisfy the needs of society. In The Purpose of Life, scientific observations and logical arguments are employed to develop a compelling alternative. Using informal, uncomplicated language and real-life examples, author Jack Brannigan reveals the purpose of life. He presents a process to assess the morality of any complex issue and uses this process to examine today's relevant issues, such as abortion, homosexuality, capital punishment, and assisted suicide. Through Brannigan's philosophically engineered wisdom, learn how to truly distinguish good from bad without the concept of God, and how to assess the ethics of multifaceted issues.

'The Purpose of Life is written in a lively style and from the heart, which is of course the sine qua non for success of such an enterprise. The idea of the philosophical engineer is an attractive and appealing one, and should certainly be developed in the direction [Brannigan] proposes."

-Roger Scruton, Professor of Philosophy at Boston University Massachusetts, and author of Modern Philosophy
