You are accusing him of putting a foot on the scale of (not)essence by using an unrealistic standard for maintaining it and yet acknowledging a more o...

I agree. A failure to establish that all three acts are immoral doesn't negate the existence of objective morality. If it could be shown they were all...

I take being on the court a good start,
August 03, 2021 at 05:42
Could have sworn I was agreeing.
August 03, 2021 at 05:40
Nope. Might as well be a different language. I'll check tomorrow though.
August 03, 2021 at 05:39
Nah. I kind of am. Like, in your article you ignore the non-Euclidian triangle with "straight lines", but we still know what a triangle on a ball look...
August 03, 2021 at 05:37
Probably an accurate assessment. Under the impression the meaning of game was essentially a context. Is the irony of a discussion about language being...
August 03, 2021 at 05:35
It means Wittgenstein is correct that words mean things in a context. Which is why we string them together in different ways. Expecting to isolate a w...
August 03, 2021 at 02:19
I agree with the implications. There would technically never be a case of doing the right thing when no one is watching and instant karma might have s...
August 03, 2021 at 01:44
I miss understood what you meant the first time. I agree that a lot of our conviction concerning moral judgement is based on the perception of them be...

Or the literal description of institutionally themed interior space.

Big door, tiny window.
August 02, 2021 at 20:56
We have your claim and supporting evidence presented above? It would be a shame to lose it the moment things seem untenable. My irritability is with b...
August 02, 2021 at 20:32
First, I maintain that was a misinterpretation of Kant's work that was referenced in it's refutation. The original work is discussing lying in Kant's ...
August 02, 2021 at 19:25
The idea was to establish objective morality. If the answers are different, then morality is not from the act but rather a subjective notion of the ob...
August 02, 2021 at 19:15
I think I'm in agreement. I suppose harm implies there is an understood value in the subject of harm. Others being high value and self-portraits held ...
August 02, 2021 at 19:10
You can't make me read that.
August 02, 2021 at 18:55
More or less the unstated thought process I'm going with at the moment. See if it can move from less witchcraft to more science based.
August 02, 2021 at 18:55
Generally everything stated here; some might call it the justification you provided. Is in error. I put the most absurd part in bold. You are using va...
August 02, 2021 at 04:52
No problem. The 'they' was a glaring deficiency in your approach, so it was easy to remember. You stated twice I didn't understand it, but what you me...

Your demonstration of multi-sided ethics via a soccer gain result. Referenced Here: Originating Here:
August 02, 2021 at 00:42
I'm taking for granted that I seem to believe it without any trouble. The OP was basically this assertion followed by But, I can't account for how thi...
August 01, 2021 at 23:05
There's also attempted Armacide. It's immoral from the intention to harm, but lacks the objective existence of it. Would this still qualify as a prope...
August 01, 2021 at 17:05
You derived self defense from the refutation of the following statement about genocide/slavery. I thought you were going to twist the political killin...
August 01, 2021 at 16:51
Yep. Two groups are committing immoral acts. Almost curious what you have to twist in order to support this assertion. No one is generally arguing it ...
August 01, 2021 at 16:02
I don't know that you can actually blame a moral theory on an outcome(which is what I did to be fair). But, moral relativism would hold that there was...
August 01, 2021 at 15:40
The exception being Cilantro; for some people it tastes like soap. It oddly correlates with whether or not an individual can smell stink bugs. I want ...
August 01, 2021 at 06:19
Yes, I'm hoping for a binary result to be the product of my "test". Morality does often present as being subject to an individuals perception. If I wa...
August 01, 2021 at 06:04
Different involves separate subjects, where as differential is variance in a single subject. Like, air pressure inside versus outside a balloon. Compa...
July 31, 2021 at 22:55
It hints at being too literal. I meant the ability to establish morality without the perception of any person being injured. The painting is indiffere...
July 31, 2021 at 22:26
Thanks for addressing the OP. It's strange to me; if I was watching this event I wouldn't be thinking about the people that would never see it or the ...
July 31, 2021 at 20:42
Color-blindness didn't work. It became a denial of separate experiences under the false promise of equity.
July 31, 2021 at 20:29
The livable wage protects against the inefficient over production of unwanted goods. If your business doesn't generate enough value to sustain the peo...
July 31, 2021 at 19:26
It's like a raccoon-dog. Before checking; tell me if it's real.
July 31, 2021 at 19:19
You've said "did not get my point" a suspicious number of times. I asked if you meant they were all equally valid, which you confirmed. Which is not w...
July 31, 2021 at 19:05
It seems to me you didn't like the question, because it implied I questioned the conclusion. Your point was to demonstrate that different people may a...
July 31, 2021 at 19:02
I think this is a valid response. I could argue we have to reach a little to get to suffering, but it's well within reason. Thanks for the direct anal...
July 30, 2021 at 18:00
Well, I've got a little philosophy cheat sheet. It says that if you think you've solved the entirety of a philosophical sub-category based on a single...

When presented with a failing eye exam score the same issue is raised.
July 29, 2021 at 23:16
We can and have made reasonable approximations. Being imperfect is not the same as without value. Imagine if I told you that anything can be understoo...
July 29, 2021 at 23:04
In theory; it might. But, in practice it seems like people need to tie the existence of god to some part of their reality. It's why we keep getting ne...
July 29, 2021 at 22:55
Wouldn't this dissolve the meaning of the word "bias". We recognize the degree to which a person's interest can mistakenly be injected into their perc...
July 29, 2021 at 22:44
Ok, what else is contained in a moral calculation.
July 29, 2021 at 22:29
You are implying they are all equally valid?
July 29, 2021 at 22:28
Well, if I can approach a problem that shows a moral judgement can be reasoned from a neutral position; then it contradicts the notion that morality o...
July 29, 2021 at 22:23
The OP is available for confounding this demonstration.
July 29, 2021 at 21:13
Which is precisely why our legal system doesn't run on feelings. In theory at least. When converted to logical thought the question becomes is it mora...
July 29, 2021 at 21:05
Perhaps, a reasonable approximation is still in play?
July 29, 2021 at 18:15
Exactly, it's nearly impossible to disagree with that statement. I think the first step in testing a moral theory is presenting it. There are several ...
July 29, 2021 at 18:12
General Advice I think you've identified the resistance and like you say it is the different points of a view. Statements that you may take for grante...
