View source for Moral naturalism

'''Moral naturalism''' is the theory of [[evolution]] applied to [[ethics]].  It is a subset of [[Social Darwinism]]. Rather than defining morality as a set of divine commands, moral naturalism sees morality as merely an unintended side-effect of the social interaction of free agents, in the same manner that [[natural selection]] is said to adjust the characteristics of organisms to changing environmental conditions.
