Scribes of the Tribe excerpts and analyzes public domain quotes by our greatest philosophers, those known to us all, on religion (immortality and spiritual beliefs) and ethics (good and evil), arranging them in an intelligible order as a guide for the species, a guide that today seems more crucial than ever. The basic truths identified by our greatest thinkers provide a practical philosophy for ethical action that works on the mundane level where we live and breathe, the guidance we now need more than ever.
