It might not be apparent from the examples provided in the article, but I would argue that this paradox is the primary polarizing force behind most people's morality disagreements.
A lot of the disagreements come down to the question "Well where do we draw the line?"
- tunesmith 10y agoThis is why I feel like I'm transitioning, over time, from value ethics to deontology. Value ethics are really susceptible to this paradox. But if I can induce what appear to be my principles from my value-ethics instincts, and then, as an exercise, try to reason out from my principles and act accordingly, then perhaps I am more consistent. That's if you see being consistent as an axiom to try to always meet. A lot of people don't, and I don't know how to argue with them.
