Rational Gaudism - The Philosophy of Reason, Liberty and Rational Maximization of Self-happiness
Rational Gaudism is a complete philosophical system with metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and politics.
Metaphysics: Metaphysical ideas are cut down to the absolute minimum that is necessary if further epistemological progression is not to be meaningless / indeterminate.
Epistemology: The epistemology is based on strictly logical, rational and scientific principles.
Ethics: All human actions are self-happy-motivated, while the ethical guideline is the consequent use of optimal rational evaluations, i.e. to maximize the probability of generating the largest possible sum of self-happiness during life according to basically the same principles as used by natural science.
Politics: Rational Gaudism detects the existence of nature-given rights and thus the philosophical basis for all true jurisprudential legitimacy. All other fundaments for legitimacy than the Rational Gaudist one will necessarily meet a contradiction. It is a framework where all politics has to reside in order to be legitimate.
