Description for Revisiting Universalism
Paperback. Num Pages: 176 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPQ; HPS. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .
This book begins from the premise, which it seeks to elaborate, that the poorest human being shares with the richest, a natural nature. This, it is claimed, is not the trivial thesis it is sometimes represented as being. Rather, significant moral consequences flow from the assumption that all human beings share a set of natural needs. Using this starting point, the book also seeks to defend an objectivist epistemology.
