I'm thinking about talking the difficulties of creating a stable ethical system that doesn't start with a series of unprovable assumptions (divine revelation or the equivalent). An acquaintance of mine is convinced that the inherent nature of logic implies the existence of ethics and he can put up a pretty good, albeit somewhat convoluted, argument which, of course, I feel perfectly able to destroy due to the argument's (ahem) fatal flaws of logic. But I figured I'd get comments on the first six chapters before I decide what should go in Chapter 7. So, what should go in Chapter 7?
