I'm far from being the first to link manners and morals. Dave Lull sends a link to Chapter 11 of Henry Hazlitt's The Foundations of Morality, titled Manners and Morals.
Dave also alerts me that Cambridge cosmologist John Barrow has won this year's Templeton Prize: British Scientist Wins Religion Prize
I'm not sure if you realized it or not (knowing you, you did), but your post title can be a pun if "more" is taken as "mores" with that French accent thing over the "e." Fits in perfectly with the theme. Just thought I'd point that out.
ReplyDeleteJohn Barrow's a very good writer, BTW.
Actually, I didn't notice, but you're right. Subliminal brilliance!
ReplyDeleteI've also now (belatedly) written a posting on this prize on Petrona.

Thanks for sending the email, Dave.
