What the book is about: Scientific morality arises from a practical form of hedonism that plays pleasure against pain to arrive at moral considerations. While this may seem like a strange notion to you, remember that science is a child in its age, and much of what science has discovered about our existence has gone unheralded among the world's populations. Hedonism has been condemned by most organized religions, but at a practical level offers an astute assessment of morality that can be tested and the results categorized and result in practices that can be taught. In such a system, where belief is not required, moral actions result from predicting what results any actions may bring, and the knowledge that pain is the price of pleasure. The entire philosophy gets summed up in the paragraph you can find at the bottom of every page on this web site.

"To deny a right to the experience of pleasure is immoral unless that denial can be justified by a valid presentation of how pain will result from that experience in an amount that would render the expected pleasure regrettable; or, if it can be shown that pain will be induced in others innocent of any involvement. The role of science in moral issues should be to test that, predict that, and find harmless ways to demonstrate that."
