Is There a Line Between Morality and Self-Help?
I tend to be sympathetic to the idea that there are objective ethical truths. There was a period in mid-20th century moral philosophy where a lot of philosophers wanted to do something, say something about ethics. I think these problems about how do you actually persuade people and how does our failure to persuade people have for the idea of objective knowledge and objective truth are much broader than ethics. That kind of pluralism doesn't have the same role to play in our thinking about science.
