The Emotional Construction of Morals by Jesse Prinz

I picked this up on the recommendation of Will Wilkinson's website and a jacket summary that said it's some updated version of Nietzsche and Hume on morals. Got a few chapters in and remembered that I am tired of this sort of conceptual dicing and splicing.
