A persistent puzzle in mainstream contemporary moral philosophy is why people should strive to do good and to be good. Today it is often ignored that there is more to the human nature than what can be described by natural sciences - morality and practical rationality. The Good proposes a hermeneutical naturalism that elucidates the ways that goodness can be a practical part of human nature.
