Very interesting opinion piece in The New York Times by Paul Boghossian, Silver Professor of Philosophy at New York University entitled "The Maze of Moral Relativism". One has to hang on to read it - but well worth the effort. Professor Boghossian aims the article at people who reject moral absolutes and illustrates his points with witches, etiquette and slurping noodles.
About this blog
- Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.
