‘My piece for Aeon grew from a desire to summarise, crystalise, and make clear for a wider audience one of the more startling conclusions from my book. Like the shorter piece that grew from it, the aim of that longer work was to familiarise readers with the thermodynamic revolution that took place during the 19th and 20th centuries, and to show how moral conclusions might be speculatively extracted from it. However, I first had to challenge several prevailing philosophical prejudices, particularly the logical prohibition against deriving ethical oughts from that which merely is.’
– Drew M Dalton
