«L'homme, le bien, le mal: une morale sans transcendance» is the philosophical essay by Axel Kahn and Christian Godin, published by Stock in French, with 397 pages.
Axel Kahn and Christian Godin start from Dostoevsky's question: if God does not exist, is everything permitted? Throughout these pages they examine whether morality can dispense with transcendence and be founded on rational principles, drawing on philosophy, the human sciences, ethnology and neuroscience, to propose a humanist ethics.
The work belongs to the Les Essais collection from Stock and was published in Paris on February 6, 2008.
For those interested in humanist thought and the great moral questions.
