Ethics for atheists
by Finngeir Hiorth, Lima: Association for the PERUVIAN JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHILOSOPHY Publications (Eupraxophia Series), 1998.
In his Spanish third book author presents a study of religious morals (Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Hindi, etc.) and philosophical ethics through times (Antiquity, Medioeval Era, Modernity, the present time). And of course, from his declared nonbelieving view emphasizes that it is possible be moral without no necessity to believe in a God.
Of that way we can simply understand any moral code supposedly revealed by a superior entity like a merely cultural product: In reality it is the morality of common sense of the towns. Hiorth as well makes a count of the main philosophical theories on Ethics (Aristotelism, Platonism, Epicurism, Rationalism, Empirism, Kantismo, Utilitarism, Logical positivism,Virtue Ethics, Secular Humanism, etc.) that they have tried to base a good moral conduct thus to obtain a good life (through average term, virtue, pleasure, senses, reason, categorical imperative, norm, common moral, etc.).
