Excerpt from Handbook of Moral Philosophy
1. Moral Philosophy is the rational explanation of our moral actions, moral nature, and moral relations. It is a science of the life subject to moral law, in so far as the study of its activities enables us to reach a science of conduct. It is, first, a system of truth scientifically discovered and arranged; then a science of the practice of morality, as this implies knowledge of moral distinctions and power of 'self-determination.' It is a theory of knowing and of being, but only of such knowing as is concerned with moral distinctions, and only of being possessing and applying such knowledge.
