We are all individuals, but we're also very much social animals, and morality is a social matter. You're not born into the world knowing right from wrong, you learn it from others. When individuals make moral choices, they do so in a social context.
- hutzlibu 9y agoOk, I believe we are arguing semantics here ... But sure morality is in social context, but still I choose to act moraly or not. That was my point. And I can also choose a different morality from the mainstream. The option to care for animals/nature for example is something quite new (or very old). And it changed, because people decided to care about it. And there are still many who have the old codex, that we as man can do whatever we want to lower lifeforms. (to which some include humans of different color/class/gender)
