Jack Boulogne's slim volume, "The Moral Code: A Catechism" (published by Trafford Publishing), achieves the nearly impossible. Thirty years of hard work is represented in a package that manages three things; it offers a comprehensive moral theory that solves many of the ancient puzzles of moral philosophy; it does so in language that is jargon-free and understandable by any attentive reader, and finally it is a complete reference book for any number of disciplines.
"As a moral philosopher and author of several books, I felt the need to condense morality into as small-yet complete package, especially for ethics teachers, police academy courses, Sunday schools and Supreme Court Justices, who at present rely on an inferior work," states Boulogne.
In "The Moral Code," Boulogne lays in front of the reader the often misunderstood anatomy of morality. It is not just an agreement for people to behave nicely, stresses Boulogne, who instead makes a compelling argument for morality being a zoological phenomenon, an innate quality that all people are born having.
While "The Moral Code" is geared towards educators and legal professionals, it also contains much for the lay person to enjoy.
"The ordinary thoughtful person will find it a guide to a sane and happy life," writes Boulogne. "For example, it gives a rational approach to anger management by distinguishing between rational anger and irrational anger, something most anger books fail to mention."
