Uncovering the historical roots of naturalistic, secular contemporary ethics, this volume shows how the British moralists of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries completed a Copernican revolution in moral philosophy, effecting a shift from considering morality as independent of human nature to considering it as part of human nature itself.
