About the Book
Building on the themes presented in his previous work, Problem and Philosophy: A Metaphilosophical Approach, this book serves as both a continuation and a deeper exploration of the moral problem and its potential solutions. The author examines moral evaluation, proposing that the essence of moral goodness lies in the conscious creation of an absolute moral value.

The notion of a definitive method for achieving moral goodness is critically challenged. Instead, the author advocates for a more experimental approach to pursuing moral ends, rather than adhering to dogmatic beliefs. He distinguishes between actions deemed 'right' due to adherence to social norms and those that represent genuine moral acts of exceptional goodness.

The text further classifies pleasures into targetable and non-targetable categories, emphasizing the significance of each in the context of pursuing goodness. Traditional moral frameworks, such as Hedonism and Rigorism, are critiqued for committing what the author terms the 'Prescriptive Fallacy' by promoting seemingly infallible methods for achieving ideal moral standards.Ultimately, the book argues that true moral freedom emerges from the creative nature of moral actions, which in turn underpins all other forms of freedom—whether intellectual, aesthetic, social, political, economic, or religious.
