TL;DRAbstract

In the last five chapters we have seen multiple examples of how structured interactions in a population of self-interested, boundedly rational agents tend to promote moral behavior. Although this does not hold universally for all structures and all games, it does seem that it holds often enough for it to be more than a mere coincidence. The central philosophical question, then, is what, if anything, does this imply for our understanding of morality and moral theories?
