The PDF version can be read here.

The audio version can be listened to here:

Morality has the following components:

• Collective values.
• The individual internalization of collective values.
• The assumption that collective values are objective, and thus “moral”.
• A folk theory of morality.
• Individual and collective moral myths.

To understand morality, you need to understand how these components fit together into a system. In this essay, I will describe each component and how it relates to the others.
