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...
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...
Probably an accurate assessment. Under the impression the meaning of game was essentially a context. Is the irony of a discussion about language being...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
You derived self defense from the refutation of the following statement about genocide/slavery. I thought you were going to twist the political killin...
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 ...
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...
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 ...
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...
Different involves separate subjects, where as differential is variance in a single subject. Like, air pressure inside versus outside a balloon. Compa...
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...
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 ...
The livable wage protects against the inefficient over production of unwanted goods. If your business doesn't generate enough value to sustain the peo...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
