This book lays out foundations for a 'science of morals.' Binmore uses its precision as a systematic tool for investigating ethical matters. He reinterprets classical social contract ideas within a game-theory framework and, by treating people as rational individuals who can empathize and make decisions, generates new insights into the fundamental questions of social philosophy.
