American philosophers around the turn of the twentieth century offer a treasure of principles that can usefully guide our life. In a personal letter to philosopher Josiah Royce, the pragmatic philosopher Charles Pierce admitted that while his logic provided security by avoiding error, it lacked the quality of uberty, or being life-giving. Royce developed a view that would lead us to practice the good of harmony over chaotic disharmony. An important gem that has been neglected in our undertaking on ethics is the importance of loyalty to a cause which goes beyond our narrow egos. Understanding this and reaching for a higher reference point of loyalty to loyalties. respecting the diversity of causes, is offered as a working solution for the many thorny moral problems which has polarized society. Read this book if you want to learn how to make choices for the good in varied aspects of our lives, from friendship to business dealings. The end goal, which this portrayal of ethics elaborate, is to obtain personhood, which enables you to live a fuller life and to enable others to do the same.
