PP110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Naturalistic Fallacy, Omnipotence, Inuit
Document Summary
Moral rightness and wrongness of actions varies across societies and there are no absolute moral standards binding on all people at all times. Recognizing this, we should be tolerant of moral differences across societies. Relatable to the argument by plato, the relationship between the good and the gods, the euthyphro . Plato said, do the gods love the good because it is good, or is it good because the gods love it? . They are good whether or not the gods say so. They are good because the gods think so. Has a lot to do with how you think of god (omnipotent) The 2 questions apply to us because it can be used in the context of they are true whether or not our culture says so or they are true because our culture says so . The ethical relativist says the latter is true.
