just some amazing coincidence that on some issues, there is probably a near uniformity of all human conscience judgement. Just a tail on the bell curv...
well, the was kind of a big clue if you don't think that if 99% of the people in the world could hold the same moral view and it not be relative to a ...
No where did I say all moral judgments are objective - only some, and maybe only a handful. And I repeat that if as i think. and it think you would, a...
Physical facts about the universe are not matters of conscience, they are matters of reason. There is a difference. Your conscience does not tell you ...
wonderful - I have said quite a few times on here that all physics is, is a mathematical model of some observed reality. Redundant and maybe seems obv...
if you don't think it would matter to the subjective vs objective argument if 99% of the people in the world held the same moral view - You are right ...
no - i am happy with human nature, evolution, take your pick - But if you don't see that there are probably a few moral questions that 99% of the peop...
More tactic - very tiring - Of course you can guess, we all can guess - just asking for your honest guess. And, at least to me it would be a relevant ...
Thanks for the definitions - and like I said label it as you wish, is there some pragmatic difference between 99% of the world having the same moral v...
Not all moral judgement are the same, and I am not saying that there is a morally objective answer to every question. Woman voting and torturing babie...
how about, instead of wondering, guessing, or thinking tactically on what this does or does not do to your argument and position, you just honestly an...
It was a question, not a comment. And I was just hoping for an honest response of what people truly think about it. Conscience seems an important conc...
the question was not do they, the question was, would they be acting in accordance with their conscience. I understand that we humans can rationize or...
wondering your thought on this as well. Can you imagine, except for some incredibly minute exceptions, that any human being could actually be honest w...
Thanks. Wondering what your opinion would be if I posited this. No way i guess to argue or reason such a thing. But I would posit that with maybe an i...
sorry the delay and know you have moved on. But to finish Than would you say moral relativism would require the individual moral judgements to be auth...
ok - but what if my conscience is really saying “slavery is bad you idiot “. But I like money so much, I just say “I think slavery is moral” Did I jus...
Ok, different question. I want to own slaves, because owning slaves will make me a bunch of money. And I really like money. I think about it a sec, an...
here is what I think the bottom line is. At its core objective vs some form of relative moral view is, a theist/atheist argument - you can point to an...
Understand - but all thought is not true, all thought is not correct, and we do not really know the source of all thought. I still say if you continue...
Actually no you don't, you believe it has to do with the way you think the world really is. Maybe, just maybe, your view of how the world really is, i...
It seems to me the argument of relative morality vs objective morality is not being argued on the merits of one vs the other. Your source argument is ...
as you wish, will just add it to all the other questions you dodge and deflect with ad hominem. Man up, make an argument of your own for once. Give up...
allow me to recap. We finally get to a point where we understand each other's view. I say great I understand and disagree. You don't like that and ask...
Sure, other than I would see it as very possible. I have ran a few marathons, could not have done it without deep tissue massage taking out the knots....
If you want to do some of the heavy lifting, feel free to make an argument against my position that: Slavery is morally wrong in all circumstances, in...
you have already said that all truth is relative to your view of it. Again unless I feel some need to change your views on the nature of morality, why...
If there is some philosophical rule that says we have to agree - it has been widely ignored for a very long time. Understanding is important - agreeme...
what would be the motivation for me to argue a truth statement to an individual moral relativist. No matter what I say, you can just always say - "not...
ok - agree now if I say relative to my judgement there is nothing wrong with slavery. Other than saying you disagree, and use whatever you can muster ...
Agree completely , the issue is, do you think that means, as S does, that there is no truth statement we can make about slavery without cultural conte...
still want to get back to this. Your view is there is no truth statement we can make about the rightness of slavery without a cultural reference. Is t...
No, i will not admit my use of correct vs your use of right makes my position unreasonable. Especially since i didn't take any position in the options...
no it really is not - I am not making any argument so far either for or against any option, i just put them out as i understand them. I also gave an o...
Ok - i admit i am missing it, but in the thought that is in my head there is absolutely nothing different between your use of right and my use of corr...
I just want you to answer a question. I will try again see if this is better. Can you tell me how your view of cultural relativism applies to slavery ...
not sure I can. It is very evident i have no ability at all to communicate effectively. And it is not important to the point I started this with. It w...
