Is it even possible to do so?

How to go about discovering what in the East is called ‘right-action’?

How is “right” defined, and is that definition flexible, subjective, relative?

Relative ‘truth’ is self-refuting, so is relative ‘right’ also self-refuting?

Why can’t we discuss ‘right action’ without constant and overwhelming recourse to the dialectic of ‘need’ and ‘want’.

“Authenticity” - how is this concept of authenticity anything, in the modern usage of the term, other than an exercise in solipsist utilitarianism? Isn’t the popular search for authenticity really a method of discovering the wants in yourself that the fulfillment of will bring the largest amount of un-disappointment?
