ABSTRACT This paper argues in favour of moral realism, and hence distinguishes ethics (socially determined ideas of good and bad) from morality (eternal and unchanging standards of what is in fact good and bad). Morality cannot be determined by any argument based in scientific understandings, for it is of a completely different nature; there is no scientific test for what is good or bad, because you can’t get an “ought” from an “is”. Ethical progress resides in a community’s ethics changing to become more like the nature of true morality, which I argue is of a kenotic (loving and self-sacrificial) nature.

数学宇宙学家反思深层伦理：对价值，伦理和道德的反思

摘要本文主张支持道德现实主义，因此将道德（由社会确定的好与坏的观念）与道德（实际上是好与坏的永恒不变的标准）区分开来。道德不能由任何基于科学理解的论据来确定，因为它的性质完全不同。关于什么是好还是坏，没有科学的检验，因为你不能从“是”中得到“应该”。道德进步在于社区的道德观念转变，使其变得更像真实道德的本质，我认为这是一种狂热（热爱和自我牺牲）的本质。
