Morality, the author argues, is more than an abstract set of principles, and is better understood when we consider how it finds tangible expression in societies and their institutions. The author proposes human valuation, or the ability to recognize the intrinsic value of human life, as the core of morality. Historically, valuation was limited to members of one's own tribe but has expanded over time, in line with the lessening of tribal hatreds and the growth of national and international unity. This has been evidenced by the expansion of democratic systems, the more equitable distribution of wealth, and the development of global institutions. The book's analysis provides a practical method for understanding moral progress and a valuable tool for the promotion of a more humane and just world.
