The Biological Justification of Ethics: A Best-Case Scenario
Social Philosophy and Policy 8 (1):86 (1990)

This reticence reflects both a becoming modesty about the aims of their disciplines and a healthy skepticism about whether there is any one thing really worthy of the label ‘human nature’Author's Profile
