Can we trust our Moral Intuitions?
#54
RE: Can we trust our Moral Intuitions?
I get what the term is supposed to mean, but do you have a referant in mind that we might discuss? I don't find very many philosophical hypotheticals morally ambiguous.

Give me a hypothetical, I'll show you what I mean. -not, mind you, show you that I'm right, or even that I would do right if I thought I knew what it was...just present an intuition. If morally ambiguous positions are profligate.....almost any philosophical hypothetical..and what doesn't count as that?..... Does it make sense to say that we can somehow choose to avoid them?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
