Actually avoiding the use of social contract was a wise choice not for just not excluding non-political scientists, but because social contract theories tend to make the mistake of assuming that humans aren't social creatures by nature. So I'd say our virtues derive from social obligations which we are hard-wired to follow (although what those obligations are vary by culture).
