１ 正しいとか間違っているとかの規範は純粋に社会的に作られたものである。←掟なんて人間が作ったものさ
２ 私たちは自分自身の個人的な倫理規範を作る自由がある。←掟は自分で決めりゃいいのさ
３ 明白に疑う余地なく同意なき他者を傷つけるのでなければ、すべては倫理的に許容的に提供できる。←迷惑かけなきゃ何したっていいのさ
Every semester I teach a course in ethics (moral philosophy) at my community college. I tell the students that they don’t have to agree with me; they are entitled to their own opinions, even if their opinions are deeply erroneous. But I attempt to persuade them that there are certain popular theories of morality that are wrong.
In particular, I argue against three popular but (in my opinion) pernicious theories:
- The theory that the rules of right and wrong are purely social creations.
- The theory that we are free to create our own individual moral codes.
- The theory that everything is morally permissible provided it does no obvious and tangible harm to non-consenting others.
On the other hand, I argue that there is a true theory of morality, namely the theory that all normal human beings have an innate knowledge of certain fundamental rules of morality, e.g., don’t murder, don’t steal, don’t commit adultery, don’t abandon your children, etc. This might be called a “natural law” theory of morality, but I don’t insist on that name.
