As economic conditions and education levels improve in developed societies, religious organizations will inevitably disappear, creating a huge vacuum. The resulting question will be how to define, promote, and enforce moral values when this has been done by religious organizations for centuries. While many have criticized faith-based thinking, few have offered viable alternatives that satisfy the needs of society. In The Purpose of Life, scientific observations and logical arguments are employed to develop a compelling alternative. Using informal, uncomplicated language and real-life examples, author Jack Brannigan reveals the purpose of life. He presents a process to assess the morality of any complex issue and uses this process to examine today’s relevant issues, such as abortion, homosexuality, capital punishment, and assisted suicide. Through Brannigan’s philosophically engineered wisdom, learn how to truly distinguish good from bad without the concept of God, and how to assess the ethics of multifaceted issues.

Although this book is called philosophy for children, it is not exactly a child’s reading material. This book is written for parents to learn and then to encourage their children to think about and investigate their surroundings continuously. One may think that children are not capable of philosophical discussions. Quite the contrary, children are philosophers by nature. Anyone who has a little experience with children knows very well the never ending string of questions that a child asks to get a satisfactory answer. Similarly, every philosophical discussion starts with a question and then repeated questions to get to the bottom of something.

In this book, a clear definition of success is given: what it means and why it is so often misunderstood as a measure of wealth or happiness. Then, happiness is discussed philosophically before we talk further about success.

A passage: Total collapse of classical civilization had begun with the Sino-American war of 2017, about the time that Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle rose to meet the sky, along with all of China. Capitalism, socialism, communism, whateverism, they ceased to have any meaning when the electricity went off, when the supermarket was only a memory, when the darkness was upon the land. Governments ceased to exist in any form other than small gangs and petty war lords. Two hundred years of death and chaos passed, then mankind finally remembered what had once worked, mankind remembered the libraries, the knowledge stored in long forgotten vaults. Mankind remembered that well-intentioned democracies had always finally degenerated into socialism and decadence.

A passage: The collection of government and chartered civilian helicopters had learned from hard experience not to press closer than a mile to the boy, those that did found themselves making emergency landings with fuel supply problems. Pinching a fuel line to constrict the flow was a piece of cake. The approaching ring of what in better times had been the FBI was the real problem; the so-called agents knew that firearms were useless against their quarry, so they were issued with wooden baseball bats. The boy finally realized that he had lost the game, there were simply too many to take out without killing them.
