What to Do Next?

If you're not sure about what to do next, then simply saying that you should do whatever your preferences are is not much use if you don't know what ou want to do. Since our pree es are shaped in this way, at least in part, by our moral explanations, it does not make sense to define right and wrong entirely in terms of their utility for meeting people's preferences. In chapter 14, i shall argue that the same is true in the field of aesthetics. There is such a thing as objective beauty.
