This book aims to shake the foundations of contemporary ethics by showing that moral philosophers have been deploying a mistaken methodology in their efforts to figure out the truth about what we morally ought to do. Sachs argues that moral theorizing makes sense only if it is conceived of as an explanatory project and carried out accordingly.
