Features: Moral philosophy is the knowledge of what ought to be, or the application of rules that ought to determine the choices of free will agents. Before determining the moral rules suitable for a specific nature, one should know the facts associated with this nature. Before determining the moral rules for humans, one should know the history of human nature, his temperamental tendencies, his unique pleasures and pains, his current circumstances and prospects. Soulology, or the material history of the mind, is the foundation of moral philosophy.
