| Summary: | The book defends the view that morality makes binding claims on all normal human beings, and that these claims are universal and invariable. Moral pluralism is conceded only in the "application" of the fixed fundamental principles in various contexts. Absoluteness is seen as characterizing the "fundamental" moral principles, while variability is a feature of subordinate rules. Accordingly, it is denied that it is possible for there to be alternative moralities, that is, moralities indifferent to the needs and interests of others - a denial whose grounding inheres in the very meaning of -morality-."
