 People cannot thrive except with the help of others. We live in societies, and plausibly we need to do so in order to cope with the many problems and issues we face in meeting our needs and pursuing our values, as well as to enhance our opportunities, and to allow us to devote time and attention to developing our talents. This means we are faced with a generic problem, the “problem of sociality”, which arises because there are sources of conflict and disagreement that can interfere with our ability to live successfully in societies. Societies do better at coping with this generic problem when their members share a moral code that calls for them to cooperate with one another, to avoid force and fraud, and, generally, and with qualifications, not to interfere with one another.
