Resumé
Below are some collected works that I’ve cited in my bibliography, or am planning on reading and want in my easy possession. When I have digital works I can share I will include them on my site for easy access and reading. I would prefer to be able to provide all works in my bibliography here someplace for easy access, although many books I’ve read earlier cannot be provided this way. These are interesting works, freely shareable for your enjoyment.
There are many other works I can include from my reading history, which is very extensive. If you are interested in some books I’ve read, in hard copy format, see my Reading List.
I had a library of books in my possession at approximately 2,000 volumes in a range of disciplines.
This is a small start to a digital library, for digital works freely available for distribution. As I include additional items in my bibliography, I will analyse to see which works can be shared freely here. If allowed, I will provide copies for easy access. In this way too, my bibliography can reference a location that will guarantee access to the work cited. Whereas currently in academic life, finding resources for additional research may be very challenging and costly.

I am a retired executive, software architect, and consultant, with professional/academic experience in the fields of Moral Philosophy and Ethics, Computer Science, Psychology, Philosophy, and more recently, Economics. I am a Pandisciplinarian, and Lifetime Member of the High Intelligence Community.
Articles on this site are eclectic, and draw from content prepared between 1980 and 2024. Topics touch on all of life's categories, and blend them with logical rationality and my own particular system of ethics. The common theme connecting all articles is moral philosophy, even if that is not immediately apparent. Any of my articles that touch on "the good and virtuous life" will be published here. These articles interrelate with my incipient theory of ethics, two decades in preparation. This Book and Journal is the gradual unfolding of that ethic, and my living autobiography, in a collection of individual books that fit into groups of book collections.
This Book and Journal is already one of the largest private websites and writings ever prepared, at nearly 1 million words, greater than 50,000 images and videos, and nearly one terabyte of space utilized. The entire software architecture is of my creation. Issues of the book for sale can be found under featured. These texts are handmade by myself, and are of excellent quality, and constitute the normal issues of my journal that can also be subscribed to. The entire work is a transparent work in progress. Not all is complete, and it will remain in an incomplete state until death.
I welcome and appreciate constructive feedback and conversation with readers.
