Ha. Not really. Moral philosophers write those books all the time, they're not exactly rolling in cash.
Anyone interested in this can read the SEP
Or Isaac Asimov’s foundation series with what the “psychologists” aka Psychohistorians do.
The key being "well written", which in this instance needs to be interpreted as being convincing.
People do indeed write contradictory books like this all the time and fail to get traction, because they are not convincing.
"I disagree with this point of view so it's objectively wrong"
Or Ayn Rand. Really no shortage of people who thought they had the answers on this.
The SEP is not really something I'd put next to Ayn Rand. The SEP is the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, it's an actual resource, not just pop/ cultural stuff.
I recommend the Principia Discordia.
Or if you really want it spelled out, Quantum Psychology
Don’t just read one person’s worldview, see what Aristotle, Kant, Rawls, Bentham, Nietzsche had to say about morality.
