Well, Steven, one can go a couple of ways with that question. If we create values, but there is no consensus, then whoever can control the levers of cultural power wins. In that case, since I want to impose values, it is in my interest to perpetuate certain fictions, such as that the values I am propagating derive from natural law.....On the other hand, supposing that I want to find a non- arbitrary basis for seeking consensus, than I have an interest in hypothesizing that there is substratum of shared values, a primitive conscience, if you will, that people have because of "human nature", that supplies the grounds of upon which moral discussion may proceed.......
