The Book of Ethics

In his captivating intellectual work, "Ethics: The Lost Moral Resources," Dr. Ali Al-Wardi raises critical questions that shake traditional concepts surrounding human values and morality. Utilizing his unique sociological and analytical methodology, Al-Wardi does not view ethics as a collection of dry sermons descending from ivory towers; instead, he analyzes it as a "living resource" shaped directly by the social and economic conditions of daily life.

With his signature sharp wit and eloquent style, the book unveils those "lost moral resources" forgotten in favor of superficial, verbal preaching. Al-Wardi dissects the duality of a society that extols Platonic virtues by day while practicing the opposite by night out of survival and self-interest. He brilliantly reformulates the foundation of ethics to serve as a source of genuine reform rooted in understanding human nature and nurturing a healthy environment.

To realize that morality is not merely a set of inherited slogans, but a complex behavior governed by environment and survival. This book will equip you with a genuine understanding of social hypocrisy, training you to see the true essence of noble human values beyond the masks of preachers and societal contradictions.

For sociologists, philosophers, educators, and any reader possessing the intellectual courage to confront behavioral duality and build a genuine, self-sustaining value system.
