The Necessity of Morality

If you don't think there is a deeper story of the contractarian sort that I sketched, if you're a non-foundation list, you might just stop it right here. If we do go the contractarian route, then we instead might put our necessity a little bit deeper. We might say something like, the moral truths are necessary, but their truth is itself explained in terms of the social contract. It's a necessary fact that perfectly rational beings would reason about what kinds of rules they wanted to give to one another. In such and such a way. So I think we can get the necessity of morality as well.
