What Is Enlightenment? Magazine
A Philosopher of Change
by Carter Phipps

Now take a deep breath and clear your mind, because philosophy is about to break out of the box, shake off the cobwebs of the twentieth century and become hip once again . . .

In this Kimura finds the ground for a new morality, for what he calls an “evolutionary ethics” that gives us a new capacity to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil.
