Reply to comment by FingerTheCat in Philip Kitcher argues that morality is a social technology designed to solve problems emerging from the fragility of human altruism. Morality can be evaluated objectively, but without assuming moral truths. The view makes sense against a Darwinian view of life, but it is not social Darwinism. by Ma3Ke4Li3

Yeah sure, and maybe it's also like a game theory situation: if you'd take others' food they'd probably start taking yours and it would maybe even become socially acceptable. Without the rule chaos would ensue as everyone would be taking someone else's food, so it's better to not do it.
