ABSTRACT
The issues raised at the end of the last chapter are significant for EMR as an empirical approach to morality. Our short discussion of these issues is not meant to be conclusive. Better responses to such issues will require more empirically and morally well-developed versions of EMR. Our purpose in this book has been more limited in scope. Our argument has been that EMR offers a plausible and potentially powerful explanation of the natural origins of species-independent and biologically real moral values. EMR merits further development as an empirically based theory of morality.
