| 520 | _a"The Ethics of Hercules" by Robert Chenault Givler is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The work explores the relationship between human physiology and ethics, arguing that the understanding of ethical values is contingent upon the mechanics of the human body. Givler posits that ethical values arise from bodily functions and actions, positioning the study of ethics as an empirical science rooted in human biology. At the start of the book, Givler outlines his intention to establish a mechanistic approach to ethics that challenges traditional views. He emphasizes that ethical problems are inherently human problems, to be examined through the lens of physiological mechanisms rather than abstract ideals. Givler draws a distinction between the figure of Hercules, representing strength and perseverance in facing ethical challenges, and entities like Cinderella, embodying a passive and escapist approach to life. He expresses a commitment to revealing fundamental truths in ethical thought, which he believes have been obscured by longstanding metaphysical and moral traditions. The author asserts that natural science can illuminate our understanding of ethics, inviting readers to reconsider their preconceived notions about the nature of good and evil.
