You can take a variety of moral questions, and learn that people across the board respond to them very similarly. This core morality seems to be the foundation for their moral views, even if some aspects verge out particularly unique ways among them, particular when they involve competing moral principles.

But you're still not addressing those things which are assigned different moral values in different cultures.

Boru

I'm addressing that commonality. Or what lays at the heart of that commonality. In other words I'm not arguing over moral epistemology, but moral ontology. 

I'm merely referring to the perception of morality as something objective to us, regardless if some of our moral views on certain subjects differ. There's far more we as a whole have in common, than not in common. Goodness Badness seem to be about uncovering truth, than figuring out our preferences.
