伦理遍布于人类社会和几乎所有人的生活。伦理学作为一种美丽的人类现象出现——永远未完成，一代又一代地集体精炼和扭曲。基切尔指出，我们的人类价值观不能被理解为一个最终的系统，而是一个项目——伦理项目——我们的物种在其历史的大部分时间里都在参与其中，这是我们自身的核心，也是占据我们五万年生活，使得人之所以成为人的事业。

Evolution and Ethical Life
The book won the Association of American Publishers Professional and Academic Excellence Award in Philosophy (PROSE Award).
Ethics pervades human society and almost all people's lives. Ethics emerged as a beautiful human phenomenon - forever unfinished, collectively refined and twisted from generation to generation. Kitcher argues that our human values cannot be understood as a final system, but rather as a project-an ethical project-in which our species has been engaged for most of its history, which is at the core of who we are, and which has occupied the 50,000 years of our lives that make us human.
