The Nature of Goodness

** "The Nature of Goodness" by George Herbert Palmer is a study that looks closely at what it means for something to be "good," using ideas from psychology and ethics. Palmer aims to clear up misunderstandings about goodness by looking at whether goodness exists on its own or because of what it leads to. He argues that while we often talk about goodness, it's actually hard to define and truly understand because it involves how things relate to each other and what's naturally important about them. The book suggests the need to think more carefully about what goodness is, setting up a detailed look into this important idea in ethics. **
