Desire Utlilitarianism

Desire Utilitarianism: An Atheist’s Quest for Moral Truth actually presents the path that I took from High School, where I decided that I wanted to leave the world better than it would have otherwise been, through undergraduate and graduate school where I sought to find out what ‘better’ really was, through the years after college where I applied what I learned to real issues.
