Can we be wrong about right and wrong?
(Beyond Ourselves #20)
What's in the series? Previous: Where does our sense of justice come from? Next: Two reasons why
Can we be wrong about right and wrong?
For example:
- Were the Nazis wrong to kill six million Jews?
- Was slavery really wrong? If everyone at the time thought that there was nothing wrong with it, did that make it acceptable?
- If a law was passed saying that it was alright to steal, would that make it right?
- What about changing attitudes to homophobia?
- Or racism?
If we can be wrong about right and wrong, there must be something more to right and wrong than what a particular society says, or what a particular individual believes. There must be something outside the individual or the society that makes things right or wrong.
