'Simple Wisdom' by Stephen Waters
September 15, 1998The Book: Simple Wisdom
This is a draft of a book that is the result of readings most of which were completed almost 20 years ago. Much of what is written is extracted from essays and letters written in the early 1980's. One biographer wrote that H.L. Mencken's belief system was consistent throughout his writing career. It seems also to be true of the other authors quoted herein. That supports the conclusion that process is at the core of ethical decisionmaking.
