The New Ethics is a 1907 book by American zoologist and philosopher J. Howard Moore. It advocates for a moral system based on the Golden Rule, extended to all sentient beings. Building on his earlier works, including Better-World Philosophy (1899) and The Universal Kinship (1906), Moore presents what he calls the "New Ethics", a philosophy grounded in evolutionary theory and aimed at eliminating anthropocentrism. The book promotes animal rights, ethical vegetarianism, socialism, and the women's movement, envisioning a future society based on justice and compassion for all life.
