Is the science of positive intentional change a science of objective moral values?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 37 (4):435-436 (2014)
Abstract
I examine whether Wilson et al.'s argument for a science of positive intentional change constitutes an argument for a science of objective moral values. Drawing from their discussion, I present four reasons for thinking that it may be and some considerations on why it may not be. Concluding, I seek help from the authors.
