Moral relativism

[Hume]

Right. Another way that you ignore what moral/morality is truly related to. You've redefined morality to mean something like a tool. That's not what morality is.

Morality is whatever you say it is. I see that is what you believe.

 

[Yakuda]

I was not addressing you.

OMG You didnt even bother to go at post #724 did you?

 

[Hume]

moral
/ˈmôr(ə)l/
Moral describes principles, standards, or beliefs concerning what is right and wrong in human behavior.

I know you believe that.

Morality is whatever you say it is. I see that is what you believe.

So then rape could be a moral good according to that reasoning

 

[ZenMode]

The problem is in order for hume to be intellectually consistent he/she/it cant says rape is never a moral good.

Correct.

 

[ZenMode]

I know you believe that.

Yes, I believe that words have meanings and your definition of "moral", as some kind of social tool, is not a definition of moral. It's a liberal/leftist construct.

 

[Yakuda]

I know you believe that.

So a color blind person sees the top lamp of a stop light as purple so that means the color of the top lamp is purple?

To that person.

You mean like a social construct?

To be clear, moral relativism has nothing to do with subjectivity.

 

[Yakuda]

To that person.

I agree to that person it appears as purple but is the top lamp actually purple?

 

[Yakuda]

To be clear, moral relativism has nothing to do with subjectivity.

its definitely not objective because that top lamp on the stop light is NOT purple

 

[Hume]

For those with normal color vision.

 

[Yakuda]

To that person.

You can repeat it all you like but that doesnt make the light purple.

 

[Yakuda]

For those with normal color vision.

Right and those with normal moral understanding know rape is never a moral good

 

[Hume]

You can repeat it all you like but that doesnt make the light purple.

What is color but the way human eyes process light?

 

[Hume]

Yes, I believe that words have meanings and your definition of "moral", as some kind of social tool, is not a definition of moral. It's a liberal/leftist construct.

You really are not that bright. My mistake.

How the eye processes color has nothing to do with the actual color. You realize dont you that when cameras only took pictures in black and white grass was still green. The world wasnt grayscale

It is the only thing that has to do with color.
