Description
The search for the source of our moralities is one of the oldest problems in philosophy. Recent discoveries in sociobiology, neurochemistry, anthropology and the cognitive sciences require a multi-disciplinary approach to this search. Drawing from these disciplines, guided by philosophy, a structure for our moralities is proposed. The meaning for our more difficult moral problems is discussed.
