  Any survey of the science of morality that doesn't mention Robert Axelrod is like a survey of computer science that doesn't mention Alan Turing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Evolution_of_Cooperation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Evolution_of_Cooperation

  "science of morality"? sigh...

    You are right that morality can't be a science. However, the article is actually about the psychological study of moral behavior, which is certainly science. One reason this is important is there are many important disagreements about the psychology that such a science can help resolve.

      Why can't it be a science? I am with Sam Harris on this one. Video: https://www.ted.com/talks/sam_harris_science_can_show_what_s_right?language=en https://www.ted.com/talks/sam_harris_science_can_show_what_s...

    The word is so overused these days. Your idea may be rational, it may have philosophical appeal, but your idea is not science unless you carry out "experiments" to validate it. Everyone uses the word "science" without actually having experiments and adequate controls to back it up. FYI, Whenever someone adds "science" to the title, the paper is generally not science.
