 It remains to ask whether the account achieves its goals when it is understood as Foot intended. Can Foot show morality to be something with a foundation in human nature, as she understands it? The account Foot gives is promising, yet also programmatic. Foot believes that the moral virtues, together with prudence and virtues like friendship and loyalty that pertain to human relationships are justifiable on the basis of facts about human life. But which facts matter and why should they matter to us? If survival and reproduction are not the touchstone for human goodness, then what is? And why should we care about what is naturally good for humans? These are questions that proponents of Foot’s later views continue to pursue.
