Making Morality - David Gauthier (1992)

[@Locreai]

Moral values should co incide with the laws of human nature, and the laws of actual nature, but are rendered nul through our compulsion to justify our intentions through subjectivity. If there were a real moral code no one recalls its verses.

The moral values like true and false, right and wrong, good and bad are subjective social construct that can be turned upside down according to the laws of the day, more so on human sexuality. Even the most courageous psychologist (let alone philosophers) don't dare to think about it, far from talking.

@@TheWorldTeacher You are telling nothing new. (no offence please). But you avoided answering my straight forward question. The 'truth' may be very hard to deal with.

19:00 that is kinda of how I see Andrew Tate through his action's. And why there was/is a backlash against his message. Yes some can live that lifestyle however not all can for it's not conducive for a productive society. Or so to say if all men acted like him what about the other side of the population the females. Is that best for them and their children?

Thank you for the reply. 'TRUTH' is mostly subjective a reflection of the outside, what we call reality. Its different for different observers. The wise men from the ages told us that, what we see outside, the world is MAYA. it may go on and go on unending. Now let me ask a little different and a very sensitive question, sine I hear you as 'The World Teacher'. Apologies before; as you may find it quite offensive. I am researching on the question: Is Sex Without Consent aka Rape Justifiable or Permissible under any circumstances? I know the usual reply is an unequivocal NO. Perhaps I may get some other answers, since I understand you as......

By the way, what exactly in all this is novel? This seems like the type of thing people have known for centuries if not millenia. Why would anyone proudly present this as his life's work???

[@divertissementmonas]

It's no wonder he said he doesn't pretend to be the only one working on it. It was very, very dry and I'm sure he knew it.

This was the 90s. So not novel.

I’m sorry what have you achieved in life? My grandfather wrote numerous books on ethics and morals and was a well known and respected philosopher.

This is still Kants deontology as it boils down to treating people as an ends into themselves amd not as a means to an end.

[@steveflorida8699]

Jesus has a higher level of "treating people". When Jesus mentioned turn the other cheek, he refers to approach the situation differently and help your fellow person help themselves. Therein, both you and the other person benefit the result.

@@mileskeller5244 within the life teachings of Jesus, we hear more than ideals. Jesus actions illustrated ethical relationships with others. And also the high nobility of forgiving those who mocked him and crucified his mortal body.
