Dallas Notes: Moral Knowledge (Psychiatry & Spirituality Forum, U. C. Irvine, 2011)

Moral Knowledge (1 of 2)
one reason there can't be any moral knowledge these days is b/c we would have to agree on where it came from, and no one will agree to that.
one reason we can't say others are wrong is that we have been so judgmental and hypocritical. another is that it tends to be the case that not everything in a culture is right or wrong.


Moral Knowledge (2 of 2)
Is our current thinking any better than the old thinking? Wouldn't we just be better off if we went back to old moral thinking?
we were, of course, undermined by those who purported to agree or even propounded morality and didn't live it out, in many cases active hypocrites
but you can still make a pretty good case we'd be better off
