Philosopher Hans-Georg Moeller has a new book out, The Moral Fool: A Case for Amorality (Columbia University Press, 2009), that interestingly argues that the language of morality or ethical rectitude distorts and hinders our abilities to address the most fundamentally important social and political issues of our times.
Dr. Moeller answers 10 interesting questions concerning these issues in his book in a recent post on Religion Dispatches. Some of the questions are: What are some of the biggest misconceptions about your topic?; What’s the most important take-home message for readers?; Are you hoping to just inform readers? Give them pleasure? Piss them off?
