So what is the difference between philosophy(your work) and law (my work) other than uncertain advice (philosophy) and certain decidability(Law)? Or between both an Science: “the process of due diligence”.

The common thread running through moral and religious diversity is the purpose: cooperation through language. All else is accidental.

For example, slavery is a moral system. There are universal rules that apply to all humans qua humans: rules that determine who is counted as a slave and who is free. Slave owners all are duty bound to reciprocate the defense of other’s property by returning escaped slaves.

The only reason slavery is wrong is that there is a better way of doing things> Slave-based societies cannot compete with modern free societies.

In Marx’s words: slavery is a system of relations of production that correspond to an obsolete stage in the developement of the means of production. This is the “materialist” view of morality, and in this sense both Marx and I are materialists.

This is the argument running through my whole work. My only innovation is to replace marx’s anthropolgy with its evolutionary equivalent and to augment the latter with Aristotle.
