Abstract

This paper is about modeling morality, with a proposal as to the best way to do it. There is the small problem, however, in continuing disagreements over what morality actually is, and so what is worth modeling. This paper resolves this problem around an understanding of the purpose of a moral model, and from this purpose approaches the best way to model morality.
