2 is correct!

The approach in the book tries to formulate moral consistency principles that

    { 1 } - it justifies from a specific view on the nature of moral judgments.
    { 2 } - are useful for reasoning about ethics and can be accepted by people of widely differing perspectives on the nature of moral judgments.

This is the goal.

Just as mathematics and logic give principles that are widely shared (even though their foundation is controversial) -- so too the approach in the book tries to give moral consistency principles that can be widely shared (even though their foundation is controversial).

The approach is neutral on whether moral judgments are ultimately divine commands, irreducible objective truths, expressions of feeling, or whatever.
