Philosophy

Dario Salas Sommer has been committed to the progress of humanity and to the internal development of the human being for more than four decades. He has discovered a scientifically-based morality called "moral physics," which is based on a series of maxims, in which the underlying assumption is that morals are laws of nature.

The existence of objective morality has been debated since the times of Aristotle and Plato. Dr. Dario Salas Sommer puts forth the concept that ‘moral laws’ exist for both individuals and nations. Who follows the moral rules will prosper and who violates them will be punished. In his book ‘Moral of the 21st Century’ he proves that acting in accordance with the principles of morality is not only fair, but also beneficial. This book, originally written in Spanish, has already been translated into English, Arabic, German, Russian and Chinese.

‘Personally, I have had the privilege to scientifically prove how certain moral vibrations immediately create a decline in vital energy, which I explain and support in my book’,[1] stated Dario Salas Sommer. This ideas reflecting ‘moral universalism’ can be found among other contemporary philosophers, among them Noam Chomsky, Jurgen Habermas. However, Dario Salas Sommer gives a deeper view on human morality in connection with person, nature and consciousness. In his books the practical methods of personal development are given, that is why Sommer’s approach has been called ‘operative philosophy’, or ‘practical philosophy’. Through daily actions, one can harmoniously unify spirituality, love, money, happiness and wisdom as a result.

Dr. Dario Salas Sommer continuously participates, online and in person, in global cultural and scientific events. In 2007, he gave a speech at the Global Warming and Climate Change Summit (Calentamiento Global y Cambio Climático: La Hora de Actuar ha Llegado) in Santiago, Chile, dedicated to the environmental crisis affecting our planet and attented by the President of Chile Michelle Bachelet. During this notable event, he met with US Vice President Al Gore. “All of our problems, including Global Warming, have their origin in this fragmented vision of reality that makes us feel as if we owned Nature, instead of being a part of it”, the researcher points, “The truth is, an event as important as global warming cannot take place without making any connection to the emotions, actions and thoughts of the human species.”[2]

In Summer 2015, Dr. Dario Salas Sommer drew public attention to the importance of moral values in world politics. During the summit of the BRICS countries in Ufa, Russia, he addressed the leaders of the world fastest-growing nations, strongly urging them to remember the fundamental importance of moral principles in global politics and finance.[3] Dario Salas Sommer has a strong recognition in Russia, where he is a well-known figure (he is awarded with the Member of the Order of Friendship)
