The author develops an account of what moral principles are sound, how we can apply them to complex situations, and what makes it reasonable to treat individuals in accordance with particular moral principles. Most such authors state some general principles, but say little about why these principles should be accepted.

Defends moral cognitivism with a fresh approach.

It presents a theory designed to do this - and through which major moral disagreements can be resolved.
