Next, I suggest how evolutionary biolog y in collaboration with neuroscience has used hierarchical reductionism to arrive at the foundational elements and mechanisms of morality. In an analog y with the periodic table of chemical elements, I show the possibility of identifying the foundational elements of morality. I argue that naturalistic approach of hierarchical reductionism will gradually enable a more exact explication of moral phenomena. Finally, I present two illustrations of naturalistic reductionism that enable ethics to reach empirically verifi able explanations of some moral phenomena in an unprecedented extent
