Abstract
In this Part I discuss human conduct as it actually is rather than as it ought to be. A life can be moral only if it is, as Aristotle said, an activity in accordance with reason, but I would add as a necessary codicil, with reason in view of all of the facts, including the ugliest ones. The emphasis here, therefore, will have to be on bad behavior and immorality rather than on good behavior and morality, which was the topic of the previous Part. For we are now concerned not with ideals but with actuality.
