Description: Exploring the grounding of morality in science.
Moral philosophy and the science of morality do not study the same thing.
Traditional moral philosophy studies important value and goal questions such as “What is good?”, “How should I live?”, and “What are my obligations?”. These are questions about what moral behavior ought to be.
The science of morality studies the origin and function of “human morality” meaning our moral sense and past and present cultural moral norms. These studies are about what moral behavior ‘ is’ .
