As this highly original work explains, morality is not fixed objectively, independently of all human judgment, nor is it something that we 'invent.' Rather, working within zones of objective indeterminacy, the moral community - the community of all persons - has the authority to introduce new moral norms. These further specify the preexisting moral norms, making an objective difference to individuals' moral rights and duties.
