85 Blogs In Search of Secular Ethics.
To reassure you again, the purpose of the blogs is not to sell books, (although nothing would give us greater pleasure than you reading them), but for the books to encourage people to read the blogs.
For the most part, the novels reinforce the philosophy outlined in the author's blogs.
On their own, the blogs might sound dry, divorced from reality. In fiction they take shape, they are reinforced with emotions of the protagonists, and thus illustrate that philosophy is not only love of wisdom, but the love of life itself. Love of Being and Becoming.
Kapuscinski's blogs deal with the Human Potential. In the past, religions attempted to show us the way towards an ethical way of life. Unfortunately, over the years, religious leaders used their authority to command rather than persuade and, by using the carrot and the stick, they learned to wield power.

We are gods, said the prophets, and thus, according to the author, we do not need any intermediaries between us and the Universe which chooses to express Itself through us. Hence the need for Secular Ethics.
