ABSTRACT

This is a book about ethics, about right and wrong and good and bad in human life. But can we really tell moral right from wrong? Morality, many people think, is not like science, which deals in facts, but a matter of values, about which we can only have personal opinions. According to this point of view, there aren’t any moral facts, and this explains why people disagree so much over ethical questions. While science is objective, morality is essentially subjective.
