"In the tradition of C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man, Dennis Danielson re-invokes Lewis's use of the Tao--borrowed from Eastern philosophy--as a shorthand for the transcultural fund of ultimate postulates that form the very ground of moral judgment, codes of ethics, and standards of right and wrong. This book is a fresh twenty-first-century call for the virtuous cultivation of "humans with hearts," for a rejection of moral nihilism, and for a life-affirming embrace of moral realism founded in the Tao." -- Cover
