Moral Vices and Virtues: An Ethics of Mutual Aid offers a radical rethinking of ethics grounded in evolutionary biology, cooperation, and anarchist social theory. Drawing on the work of Peter Kropotkin and Murray Bookchin, this book argues that morality does not arise from command, law, or hierarchy, but from mutual aid-the everyday practices through which human beings live together without domination.

Rather than judging others, this book turns ethics inward. It examines moral vices such as hubris, envy, cruelty, authoritarianism, greed, and intellectual arrogance as stable dispositions that weaken cooperation and sustain hierarchy. In contrast, moral virtues are understood as character traits that nurture solidarity, reciprocity, and equality of dignity.

Written as a guide for ethical self-reflection and character formation, Moral Vices and Virtues treats ethics as a social practice rooted in lived relations, not abstract rules. It is an invitation to cultivate cooperation in daily life-and to understand moral development as the art of living together without domination.
