The Crown, the Sages and Supreme Morality - Robert E. Ball

First published in 1983, in The Crown, the Sages and Supreme Morality the first account of the universal science of Supreme Morality, or Moralogy, to be published in the West, Robert Ball shows how it is based on the moral teaching of Christ, Buddha, Confucius and Socrates, and is influenced by ancient Chinese thought. He shows that morality stresses the lines of authority- national, spiritual and family-that are inherent in all relationships. As a former Master of the Supreme Court closely involved in the organization and supervision of legal process, Mr Ball is much concerned to reinforce the position of the British Crown on a theoretical basis, and he therefore examines in detail monarchy and its possible future role in a changing world. The discussion also extends to other matters, such as commerce, politics and religion in an evolutionary context. The author concludes by identifying morality as the key to Britain’s self-restoration and the necessary thread in human evolution. This is an interesting work for students and scholars of philosophy, religion, philosophy of religion, and social anthropology.
