If not people, then who?
- mpyne 13y agoYou'll need to ask your favorite philosopher for that. If you end up getting a good answer for it you could acquire fame throughout the world, I would imagine.
- Amadou 13y agoFor something you consider to be so fundamentally true that's the mother of all cop-outs. Really, really unhelpful.
- mpyne 13y agoI'm sorry I couldn't be the one to tell you what you're supposed to think creates morality. Maybe you can go find someone else's philosophy to unthinkingly latch onto?
- Amadou 13y agoYou emphatically denied that morality is defined by people, but have provided exactly zero support for that idea. Backed into the corner of your own illogic you are now accusing me of being unthinking. Which is odd since all I've done is expect you to support your argument. This isn't even a case of you and I disagreeing about the importance of certain facts, you made a bald-faced denial without even a shred of an explanation. I was waiting for something like claims about received wisdom, but nada, nothing, zilch.
