ABSTRACT

Perhaps the most glaring example of the problem is the increasingly evident need for the development, classification and prioritizing of a science of morality. Driving the development of science from its beginning has been the desire to be able to better predict what will happen if one discovers or does this versus that. This desire writ large has become one of the most pressing demands of our time as the question of the future for humanity and the assessment of favorable versus unfavorable paths becomes ever more fateful. The social scientist is faced with a situation requiring a new grounding in the natural sciences. If readers consider closely the apparent functions of the four “higher” sensitivities or brain processing stages we find the missing ground for a new classification and prioritizing system that all reveals a place for and the dimensions of a science of morality within the sciences and science education.
