The author argues that a rational and scientific approach to morality is necessary for the advancement of human society. The book delves into the nature of knowledge, perception, and reasoning, and how these concepts relate to ethical decision-making.

Finally, the book presents an apologia pro amore, or a defense of love, as a fundamental component of a rational and scientific morality.
