theloniusfleabag Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Dear Terrible Sweal, Do ethical/moral imperatives exist which in some cases make it true to say 'because we can act, we must act'?No. (Don't ask Hugo, though, for he will tell you 'morality, ethics and imperatives' don't really 'exist' lol)It is all about individual choice. Is there a universal 'ethic or morality'? I would say to this, "the meaning of life is TO BE". However, even Hamlet questioned this one. One can choose to not act, even in cases of self-preservation.

I hope not and am open for more comments if you would like to carry this exchange of the look on....George Ronald Adkisson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
