Reading The Religion of Nature Delineated | Alexandria
Read The Religion of Nature Delineated by William Wollaston. Proving that morality stems from mathematical truth, The Religion of Nature Delineated overturned religious doctrine by arguing ethics exist independently of divine command. Wollaston's radical claim - that lying violates the same logical principles as claiming 2+2=5 - offers a secular foundation for human behavior that resonates with today's debates about objective moral facts.
