Maybe I did get up on the wrong side of the bed. But I wonder how many contributors here would agree that we can call the MOQ a "Science of Morals." If rationality is your criterion, then we can apply the term "science" to the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle and all that followed. I await the verdict of others.
