The book critiques humanist philosophy, arguing that it leads to moral relativism where good and evil are subjective opinions. It suggests that this perspective undermines accountability, as individuals, including children and criminals, are viewed as entitled to their beliefs without facing punishment. Consequently, it posits that positive human qualities are diminished, allowing harmful behavior to thrive and disrupting societal peace. The exploration raises questions about morality, responsibility, and the consequences of a belief system that prioritizes individual entitlement over communal ethics.
