[Serious] Moral Obligations toward Possible Worlds
#19
RE: Moral Obligations toward Possible Worlds
I can see a tie from the moral landscape of the individual to the moral landscape of the society. If you have a moral obligation to the society you’re in and the societies aims to perpetuate that society and its goals, then you would be tied morally to said outcomes. Slavers from slave times were morally tied to propagating slavery until a societal shift moved that target. It is this agreed moral tie to societal goals that feeds definitions of reparations, norms and “the ultimate good”

//2 cents
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
