jon kuder Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I have heard, and know, that morality formed on the same principles on which christianity or any religion formed on; the affermation of meaning by creating a construct that upholds human nature. We, as animals evolved to fear disease. when the first microorganisms were faced with death they entered into the process of natural selection; the organisms that chose to, or survived out of natural proximity(due to a non-balancing or coexisting ecosystem) to other preditorial or dangerous organisms, survived. Thus, the term and actuality that is morality has been the upholding statement of an ideal; essentially creating a polar spectrum by which it becomes convienient to use to assert a judgement, and therefor rationalizing the organisms. For the sake of concluding my example, I should state that disease's manifest moral opposition is apparent in the fear of rape. It is the fear of genetic mutations. The fear of killing for pleasure is probably a sociological method to afferm ones self worth. It is depressing yet interesting to note then, that an Ideal cannot exist without subordinates. I have not yet found one thing that is self relivant truth. That is to say, I have not yet found one thing that is not good because everything else is bad, but is good because it simply is good. I will not digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
