摘要：

In the backdrop of an evolutionary approach for an

expressivist conception of morality (á la Gibbard),

we argue that there are moral facts, and they are a

species of group or “we” facts that have a

separate evolutionary origin and ontological status

from the individual or “me” facts.  We discuss the

empirical evidence for we-commitment or we-

identity in the comparative psychology literature. 

We then discuss the possibility of designing

evolutionary games with certain population

structures such that the dynamics leads to the

appearance of the we-commit (a how-possible

explanation).  In the end, we discuss connections

of the above with the philosophical literature on

group or social ontology.
