He seems to assert that morals are completely imperative in nature... and his form of "hard atheism" or "amorality" is a very interesting answer to the question of morality. -Morals certainly exist in terms of how we've constructed our institutions, and despite my claim to moral contextualism on my part, I do find room for a sort of universal morality in the fact that none of us is nor ever will be "the only man on earth." However the people in a society determine what morals and laws they will live under.
