*****Truly fascinating and engaging! This review is from: The Code for Global Ethics: Ten Humanist Principles (Hardcover) This is an impressive book. I have read a lot about ethics, but this is the first time I come across a set of humanist principles so clearly spelled out. I give this book a 5 star appreciation. In fact, I keep it beside my bed at all the time. And when I have a free moment, it's gratifying to read new passages. The selection of quotations at the beginning of each chapter is illuminating. The reader has the impression that great historical figures (philosophers, scientists, poets, writers, artists, entertainers, and political figures) are discussing between themselves as the author outlines his humanist principles. I always feel entertained by these great minds. “The Code for Global Ethics” is a keeper to be read time and again. It's a great source of wisdom. I recommend it to everyone.
