Can we trust our Moral Intuitions?

RE: Can we trust our Moral Intuitions?
(October 4, 2021 at 6:02 pm)The Grand Nudger Wrote: It's a good question...I want to say that we all reassess our private opinions from time to time and the combined weight of that thought yields alot of revision (moral and historic).  I guess one of the more difficult aspects of a hard adherence to moores non naturalism is that at the end of the day, we might have to acknowledge that people can be morally defective.  That lincoln...and other people like him in any other similar context, saw things for what they were.  The others..not so much.  This, too..even though it's a product of non natural realism, is a problem for non natural realism.  An example of the power of culture to shape our norms - which then inform our moral decisions.

But when you say someone like Lincoln (or whoever for that matter) sees thing for what they are, does that not suggest some sort of objective morality?  How can that be?  Or is it simply a matter of good ideas finding purchase in a fertile mind?  But then, where do those ideas come from?
Why is it so?
