Atheism and Ethics

[Lucian]

Reduction of harm is part of it, it's not the only good, just an easily identifiable one. For example, virtues in moderation are good. Honesty is good, but it shouldn't be to the point you'd tell the Nazis where your Jewish friends are hiding. Generosity is good, but it shouldn't be to the point you go broke.

I feel virtues have been identified and confirmed as such because they contribute to social cohesion and a satisfying life. They go beyond reduction of harm to promotion of well-being.

Any idea of scholars who represent the view you hold, or what name they would give it? Trying to expand my reading list
