His purpose in this book is to demonstrate that, if we accept science as our metaphysics, we have no freedom in the choice of an ethic; that, rather, the scientific orientation forces our choice: "This book is an attempt to show that the scientist, in order to be consistent, must subscribe to certain values (and discard others) not because he is a 'good citizen' or a product of [a particular] culture, or a member of [a particular] church, but because he is a scientist."
