Loving Life

“Loving Life – The morality of self-interest and the facts that support it.” by Craig Biddle

This is an excellent book that includes such chapters as “Religion Versus Subjectivism: Why neither will do,” “Objective Moral Values: Basic human needs” and “Objective Moral Virtues: Principled actions.” Easy to read and re-reference over and over. Highly recommended!

From Chapter 8 – Concluding Summary – What we now know.

Morality is not subjective, but objective; it is not created by the human mind, but discovered by it. Just as truth is discovered by reference to evidence and the principle of non-contradiction, so morality is discovered by reference to the requirements of human life and the principle of non-sacrifice. While a person or group might have faith or feel that drinking Drano is “good” or that dishonesty “pays” or that human sacrifice is “the way to go,” neither faith nor feelings – individually or collectively – can change the nature of reality or the factual requirements of human life and happiness.

If your bookstore does not have it on their shelves, ask them to order it for you. It's well worth the wait.
