[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 573, member: 10"] [b]Morality: A human construct?[/b] There are four specific rules that I would define ethics to stem out from. 1.Don't lie 2.Don't cheat 3.Don't steal 4.Don't commit violence The correspond to four values 1.Truth 2.Justice 3.Rights 4.Peace These are indeed simplistic and there is complexity and gray in all of this. There is also an underlying unification of them that is very profound and deep. That unification is free will. The reason it is wrong to lie is because the lie would effect the free will of the one who is lied to. It would cause them to do something that they otherwise would not have done. The reason why it is wrong to cheat is because cheating represents breaking of agreements. It is what happens when you do not keep your word to others or to yourself. One's word to oneself represent personal principles. Agreements are aspects of the strength of one's will against circumstances. The reason it is wrong to steal has both to do with will, time and effort. Ownership holds it's true foundation in time and effort and consequential value for the person. It is the basis of work and is more fundamental than ideas of property and later ideas of money. Work is done towards ends, this work is frustrated if it is stolen by another who did not put in the work. The reason why violence is wrong is because ending a life removes the possibilities that life had for the one who was living it. It also deeply effects all people who had relations to that persons life. This foundation of morality does not require any given religion, nor does it even need the material incarnation of biology. Abstract spirits, so long at they posses will, fall under the logic and framework of ethics. Without will there is no ethics or morality. A hammer is not guilty of killing a person, nor does it have credit for building a safe home. Only a being who posses will may have honor or shame. I shall be finding morality as proposed by Confuscius and posting it here as well. Edited by Phoenix after he saw that he spelled Confuscius wrong because Grayson spelled it right underneath. :) [/QUOTE]
