Abstract
In this chapter I discuss three problems that arise when one attempts to understand the nature of morality. The first concerns what is known as the naturalistic fallacy and it must be addressed if the principles of morality are to be related to biological principles. The second concern is one that basically involves the issue of causation, known as the slippery slope fallacy, and it is frequently raised when innovative interventions in current policies are proposed. The third is the fear that the use of biological explanations leads to an undesirable reductionism, a concern that results from a failure to recognize the contrast between event and theory reduction.
