[QUOTE="Harte, post: 166239, member: 443"] Neither good nor bad are absolutes. For every example you can come up with of an absolute good or bad, I can offer 3 that are relative. Your original argument wasn't about personal harm to me. But even if it was, what if the aliens want to take over our planet in order for their species to survive? Bad for us, good for them. Their extinction would be an irredeemable bad thing - our extinction would also be an irredeemable bad thing. Their species survival would be nothing but a good thing. Our species survival would be nothing but a good thing. If the survival of either species was mutually exclusive, you have your example of relative good and bad right there. See what I mean? As I stated, this is not just some idea I came up with - it's part of an entire school of philosophy and my examples are analogous to examples used in a first-year ethics course. Some light reading for you: [URL="https://practicaltheorist.wordpress.com/2016/12/30/the-relativity-of-good-and-evil-a-simplified-view/"]The Relativity of Good and Evil[/URL] [URL]https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/47967/11406_2006_Article_BF02379990.pdf;jsessionid=787E32C0A644FE358FB19D713A295733?sequence=1[/URL] [URL="https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/spinoza-psychological/#GooEviModThi"]Spinoza's Psychological Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)[/URL] Harte [/QUOTE]
