ABSTRACT
Morality is simply the term used to describe living together in human society. All morality, therefore, has three constituent concerns—self, others, and the relationships between self and others. As we have seen from the outset, the new-born infant can only grow into a human being in human society. Moreover, wholeness and happiness derive from relationships with others. Hence the ultimate misery of rejection and loneliness; and the ultimate punishment of a living death in solitary confinement. The castaway, the hermit, the solitary become, in some sense, less than human.
