Meaning of Right and Wrong... Finally Answered!

RE: Meaning of Right and Wrong
@pacian

Who are you? It's considered basic good manners to introduce yourself before posting.


Morality: There are no universal.absolute moral imperatives of which I'm aware. Morality consists of rules based on pragmatism..

See also 'moral relativism'. The full article is worth reading.


Quote:Moral relativism may be any of several descriptive, meta-ethical, or normative positions regarding the differences in moral or ethical judgments between different people and cultures:

* Descriptive relativism is merely the positive or descriptive position that there exist, in fact, fundamental disagreements about the right course of action even when the same facts obtain and the same consequences seem likely to arise.[1]
* Meta-ethical relativism, on the other hand, is the meta-ethical position that the truth or falsity of moral judgments, or their justification, is not objective or universal but instead relative to the traditions, convictions, or practices of a group of people.[2]
* Normative relativism, further still, is the prescriptive or normative position that, as there is no universal moral standard by which to judge others, we ought to tolerate the behavior of others even when it runs counter to our personal or cultural moral standards.[1]
