"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.

Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.

So what's wrong with this as an alternative - humans are social animals which naturally form bonds with other humans and the moral law grows out of this relationship. That would make it a biological imperative.

I seem to remember Lewis specifically knocking down the biological imperative idea - I thought it was in MC but maybe not...

Help, Mr. Wizard, er, uh, Sven! (an obscure 1960's cartoon reference)
