Who were Anaxagoras, The Atomists, and The Sophists? | The History of Philosophy Episode 5

12:46 comes down to whether morality is a tool for control or a measure of one’s true ethical character. But one of the quotes I favor is: "You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Morality should come from a both strong and weak

That is an excellent quote! One of my favorites as well. And definitely -- anytime anyone is in power, we run the risk that they will abuse that power, perhaps in the name of morality. Do you think that morality is a human construct though? Or do you take the side of it being embedded in the nature of reality? I would love to hear your thoughts!
