Works by Daniel Raphael, PhD
Daniel Raphael, Ph.D., has contributed significantly to the discourse on ethics during the Correcting Time, focusing on integrating innate human values into ethical frameworks that promote social sustainability. Notable resources include:
- “Making Sense of Ethics: A Unique, Unified Normative Theory of Ethics, Morality, and Values” – In this work, Dr. Raphael proposes a proactive approach to ethics, emphasizing the integration of seven universal values: life, equality, growth, quality of life, empathy, compassion, and love. He argues that these intrinsic values form the foundation for a unified theory of human motivation, guiding moral and ethical decision-making. academia.edu
- “Employee Capitalism: Creating Organic Economies as a Workable Solution for Wealth Inequality” – This paper addresses the ethical implications of wealth disparity and proposes an economic model that aligns with innate human values. Dr. Raphael advocates for “employee capitalism,” where employees have ownership stakes in their organizations, promoting fairness, equality, and social sustainability. tmlife.org
- “Seven Innate Human Values” – Dr. Raphael explores the seven core values that underpin ethical behavior and social sustainability. He emphasizes that these values are inherent in all humans and should be the basis for moral and ethical decision-making processes. tmlife.org
