A Vision of the Future, Based on the Application of Ethical Principles

"A Vision of the Future, Based on the Application of Ethical Principles" by Jane Hume Clapperton is a philosophical exploration that considers how ethics, individual contentment, and how society is setup are linked together. In this book, the author wants to show how human welfare can get better if we think about things like ethics. The book kicks everything off by saying that what people really want out of life is happiness. But there's a problem: the way society and the economy are puts a damper on the overall happiness of humanity. Throughout history, there have been many views about happiness, leading to a close-up look at social structures that make happiness a luxury for some. Clapperton makes a case that there needs to be a big change in social reform and caring about each other, foreseeing a future where living by ethical standards makes human lives better.
