Immortality and Ethics مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

In other words, do moral judgments possess a flexible nature or not?" Another important point in presenting this discussion is the distinction between ethics and a moral act, because what is meant by ethics in the subject of eternity and ethics are the general moral principles that have been approved by humanity as a series of traits and dispositions, whether we consider those principles innate, like many ancients and some modern philosophers such as Kant, or whether we consider them acquired matters. Therefore, moral acts and ethics are different from each other; in this sense, moral acts are relative matters and, considering their origin, will fall under one of the moral judgments of "good or bad"; but ethics, in the sense of general behavioral principles and internal traits, is an issue that must be criticized and examined in terms of eternity or universality and relativity. 1-Relativist Viewpoint According to this viewpoint, there is no fixed moral principle, and all value judgments, including their general principles (the goodness of justice and the ugliness of oppression), can change according to a specific culture or the inclinations and tastes of individuals. For example, the concept of "good and bad" is only an indicator of the relationship between the feeling person and the perceptible object; and since human feelings differ in various matters, ethics, which is its result, will be variable and relative.
