The mystery of moral authority
Blackford, Russell.

The mystery of moral authority[electronic resource] /by Russell Blackford. - London :Palgrave Macmillan UK :2016. - viii, 119 p. :digital ;23 cm.

We attribute to morality an inescapable authority over human actions, but the source of this authority is mysterious. It cannot come from God, nature, or reason. Morality is best understood as a technology that aids in social cooperation, while often being rationalized as something more metaphysical.
