Moral Oughts

[Acrobat]

Every once in a while a thief gets shot in the act.


That alone ahould give ya reason enough to not do it...

Rational self interest. That’s a pretty common realist premise, for sure.

Okay some may be some may not be.

How about I ought not do wrong, or I ought not steal, is that a subjective goal? How about for you? Do you believe you ought not steal? If so, Is this a personal/subjective goal of yours? To avoid doing wrong things.

Meaning that it might apply to you, who personally subscribe to it, but not to someone like me who doesn’t personally subscribe to it?

No, none of those are my evaluative premises. I’m a moral realist, not a moral absolutist.

So do you subscribe to any sort of moral rules? Or do you but, just don’t view them as oughts?
