Hume looks good. Treatise On Human Nature seems quality. Thank's, anon.

Is Beyond Good And Evil a good place to start?

I wonder if an /eth/ general would work. Perhaps we should have some general thread where people can share their beliefs and get authors that are either for or against them.

Objective reality? Sure, but we'll never know it for certain. Yes, there's a reality, but we're limited to interpretations. Each persons own individual mind recreates for them their own reality using the materials present within reality.
>>13568556
Why not? There isn't an objective good or evil, yet it is still in the individuals best interest to cooperate and advance his fellow beings. It's as simple as the bundle of sticks analogy, However, there is no set rules for what or how to achieve happiness or avoid pain. One must use logic to determine how to steer events towards the least damaging outcomes. But what do I mean by "damaging." ?
I mean that which consumes time or thinking space. A person in pain is likely to be distracted by that pain, which is damaging to that persons thinking.
So, I guess if morality had to be objective, it'd be something like
>Actions which provide others with ability to think clearly
and
>Actions which prevent unwanted physical or mental intrusion on others
However, these two rules are, as with all systems of morality, flawed due to the diverse possibilities of situations.
Because of how diverse the amount of situations is, there cannot be a permanent objective morality. However, there can still be general guidelines which are discovered through observation. The object of observation here is, I believe this to be self evident, the benefit which comes from cooperation among beings. That which agrees to not trample, be trampled, or let others be trampled, is less likely to be trampled.

Looking for books, websites, wikis, I'll take anything. Basically I'm looking for examples of historical persons personal methods and exercises for mental growth. A good example of what I mean is Issac Newton's method of folding the pages in books to point to important parts. Another is Benjamin Franklins idea of re-writing news in poetry and re-translating it back later.
