When we reason if something is right or wrong, who do we consider? All parties involved or just ourselves? What time period do we consider? The present moment or the next week, month or year?<br /><br />Too often, reason looks only at the "what's best for me right now" parameters, which results in moral selfishness, not moral relativity.<br /><br />As for an alternative to reason, I would fall squarely into the ultimate moral law from a divine rule giver camp. I happily confess, however, that while I may share that camp's ideas on where divine moral laws come from, I certainly don't stand by everything they choose to do with them.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720672708037171863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407391870452071089.post-32879104074390738102009-09-18T20:32:49.734-04:002009-09-18T20:32:49.734-04:00If one is not to use his reason as a guide, then w...If one is not to use his reason as a guide, then what should be used to guide moral action?Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755996631393956572noreply@blogger.com
