How science can guide moral progress and define the good
This work argues that morality is active control aimed at progress. It frames moral science as the study of social progress, learned through scientific method and social experimentation rather than abstract speculation. Ends and duties are treated as linked but distinct, with ends often defined hypothetically and tested through real social practice.
The author surveys how science and psychology shape our understanding of moral life. It explains why large, shared goals gain moral weight and how everyday decisions grow when they affect many people. The text also addresses democracy, social policy, and the limits of absolutist rules, inviting readers to view ethics as an evolving, evidence‑driven inquiry.- Understand how moral goods scale with the social scope of their impact.
- See why ends are viewed as hypotheses in need of verification.
- Learn how social science informs policy, democracy, and reform.
- Explore the relationship between duty, right, and the broader good.
