- AndrewKemendo 3y agoI don’t disagree with you, however we are talking about real people in society, not a theoretical philosophical system. I’m unaware of any wide scale explicitly adopted philosophy wherein there is zero responsibility from individuals to care for others or society. I am curious though what you would describe as your personal philosophy, or if you’re not talking about yourself then what ethics framework are you referring to living inside that does not have a normative component. Maybe a better way to ask it is: what relativistic philosophy is dominant enough or otherwise adopted to such an extent that people are able to functionally live underneath it without any type of a-priori responsibility to others. What I DO see however are people who reject responsibility for others, yet accept or even demand support from others - even if it’s tacit - and then hold a position like you describe. So I remain suspect of anyone promoting some extreme version of individualism, as it conflicts with not only biology, but the entire history of societies and philosophies.
