应用伦理学的独特目标是为我们作为个人和社会政策的制定者应该如何行事提供指导。在本文中，我认为目前实践的应用伦理学是不够的，应该进行转变以纳入我所说的社会道德认识论。这是社会认识论的一个分支，研究促进（或阻碍）真实信仰的形成、保存和传播的社会实践和制度。例如，社会认识论批判性地评估了对抗性刑事诉讼与调查式刑事诉讼作为发现真相机制的比较优势。
The distinctive aim of applied ethics is to provide guidance as to how we ought to act, as individuals and as shapers of social policies. In this essay, I argue that applied ethics as currently practiced is inadequate and ought to be transformed to incorporate what I shall call social moral epistemology. This is a branch of social epistemology, the study of the social practices and institutions that promote (or impede) the formation, preservation, and transmission of true beliefs. For example, social epistemologists critically evaluate the comparative advantages of adversarial versus inquisitorial criminal proceedings as mechanisms for the discovery of truth.
