Modelling Morality - The Rise & Fall of Society

We’re excited to announce our upcoming book, “Modeling Morality”, which extends the  concept of Model Thinking to the realm of societal purpose and effectiveness. In this work, morality is redefined as fitness for purpose, offering a fresh perspective on how societies function and thrive.

Building upon the inputs-processing-outputs framework introduced in Group Models, “Modeling Morality” delves into how different societies align their structures and processes to achieve their intended purposes. By analyzing case studies from around the world, the book illustrates how nations succeed or falter based on their ability to model morality as fitness for purpose.

This approach provides valuable insights into the mechanisms that drive social cohesion, governance effectiveness, and cultural resilience. It demonstrates that a society’s moral framework—its fitness for purpose—is not just an abstract concept but a tangible model that can be studied, understood, and enhanced.

Whether you’re interested in sociology, political science, or simply curious about what makes societies tick, “Modeling Morality” offers a compelling exploration of how Model Thinking can be applied to achieve optimal societal outcomes.

Stay tuned for more updates on this enlightening addition to our series, and prepare to see morality and societal purpose through a transformative new lens!
