Dear List,
The recent discussions on ethics are bewildering and irrationally vague.
What, for example, does integrity mean? Did I miss a formal
definition of it? And what, exactly, is a much deeper knowledge -
this distinct between integral and intellectual simply makes no sense to me.
In my
In response to Michael Nagenborg.
We surely have nothing to fear from knowing how ethics work in the world
and applying that knowledge can only help us all. Any effort to
establish a science of ethics can only be done without prejudice and by
following wherever it leads. We cannot expect it
experience except by inference through reason.
With respect,
Steven
