This book interrogates the meaning and methods of constructing a genuine moral science and explores the ways in which it can be applied to our pressing social and ethical concerns. The author argues that the conventional distinction between "pure" and "applied" science is misleading when it comes to ethics. The search for moral structures in nature, a common strategy in ethical theory, is problematized as it often leads to the untenable position that morality is an inherent aspect of the natural world, and not a human construction. Instead, the author highlights the importance of reective and deliberative thinking in constructing a moral framework that is responsive to human needs and values. The book locates this discussion within the broader history of ethical systems and shows how the search for moral structures has guided ethical thinking from antiquity to the present day.
