Material Causality and Morality

From the perspective of an Atomistic concept of the Individual, most Moralities are an imposition on an Individual, e. g. they are constituted by 'duties'. For, on that concept, association with others is, at best, an extrinsic good, but, more frequently, the existence of others is a hindrance to selfish pursuits, e. g. Hobbes' 'war of all against all'. Accordingly, the promotion of sociability that most Moralities formulate is a threat to such individuality. In contrast, if Material Causality, i. e. the drive to exceed oneself, is accepted as a basic characteristic of the Individual, the promotion of sociability is a program of enhancement and cultivation. In other words, the recognition of Material Causality as a fundamental principle of human behavior transforms the function of Morality.
