The author initiates this examination by exploring the origin of the idea that there are universal truths that humans can identify and acknowledge. These are ideas like avoiding murder, theft, and adultery, which this book points out have been recognized and punished by all people throughout history though in different ways. It follows this introduction with an examination of the interplay between 'good' and 'bad' in the world that we live. This analysis delves deeply into the question of where these concepts come from, and what purposes they serve in human society.
