Louis asks: If you do not accept the existence of a divine entity and thus the validity of a divinely ordained moral code, what is the source or origin or base or criteria or root for the moral code you do accept and strive to follow?
Answer: >From the environments to which I have been exposed. And the codes arose from people's experiences in their environments. Just simple trial and error and survival of behaviours that led to outcomes judged to be useful. I think that is what Skinner meant and I agree with him. Please, Skinnerians, correct me if I got Skinner wrong! Stuart ___________________________________________________________________ Stuart J.
