In this book, we will consider three schools of thought, namely, ethical theism (which includes Jewish, Christian, and Islamic ethics), ethical humanism, and ethical naturalism.

The second school of thought, namely, ethical humanism, is captured in the epic work of Sir Julian Huxley's great classic, Evolutionary Humanism. Finally, the third school of ethical thought, what we have chosen to call ethical naturalism, is fundamentally expressed in the monumental work of Edward O. Wilson, On Human Nature.
