About the work

About this Ethosism library

Ethosism is Charlie Greenman's secular framework for moral judgment and daily practice. It begins with objective reality and the golden rule, then tests choices through role reversal, integrity, and long-term responsibility. The core book is Ethos; this site also publishes its introductory book, companion frameworks, and practice guides.

The author and publisher

A named body of work.

The books name Charlie Greenman as author and Ethosism as publisher. This library identifies the work by that authorship, the core Ethos book, and its method of reality and reciprocity.

The standard

Reasons open to correction.

The framework is non-theological. It asks what is true, who bears a choice's effects, whether the rule remains fair when roles change, whether conduct matches stated values, and what a repeated pattern leaves to others. It can be used by religious and nonreligious readers.

Read and use the work

Begin with a real decision.

Read the foundation for the moral method, use the practice guides for a concrete first step, and see how changes are reviewed. The books are free to read on this site.

A note on the name

Two works titled Ethosism.

Jo M. Sekimonyo also published a book titled Ethosism in 2020. His book addresses political economy. The books on this site are by Charlie Greenman; their moral method begins with objective reality and the golden rule. The shared title should not cause the two authors or their arguments to be attributed to one another.
