James Davison Hunter and Paul Nedelisky examine the historical and intellectual trajectory of attempts to derive moral frameworks from scientific inquiry. Through a rigorous analysis of the intersection between empirical research and normative ethics, the authors argue that such efforts often fail to bridge the gap between descriptive facts and moral values. This study provides a critical assessment of the limitations inherent in applying scientific methodology to the complexities of human morality.
