Quote:Not sure I understand what you mean by 'innate' :The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines 'innate' as: "inborn,natural--originating in the mind". I agree that morality originates in the mind,but reject the notion that is inborn or natural.In my opinion, morality is entirely subjective and based on pragmatism.If this was not the case there would be universally recognised, absolute moral imperatives, but there are none that I have been able to discover.
