I look at morality as placing the individual's long-term interests over the individual's short-term interests. I agree that a person's long term interests tend to be maximized by their cooperation within the context of a particular kind of society (but not just any society!), but the society is secondary to the fundamental goal: The individual's long-term interests.

Upon reflection, this definition actually does work better than the one I posted before. Excuse me while I shift my paradigm...
