Question

I thought you’d appreciate the words of the author of Dor Revi’i on the subject of morality. It’s interesting to see that your view has relatively early echoes. The quote is from Wikipedia:
“He held that anything humanity finds abhorrent has the status of a Torah prohibition. In his view, violating such a prohibition is like stripping away the image of God, and is more severe than violating an explicit Torah prohibition. According to him, it is impossible that there should be things that the nations of the world regard as forbidden while Jews behave as though they are permitted. That is because the Jewish people are supposed to be ‘a wise and understanding people’ in the eyes of the nations of the world, and not ‘a foolish and contemptible people.’ As examples, he says that if a man must decide between going out into the street naked or wearing a woman’s dress—which is a Torah prohibition of ‘a man shall not wear a woman’s garment’—then clearly he should prefer going out into the street in a woman’s dress. Likewise, if a person is in a situation where he must choose between eating non-kosher meat, which is explicitly forbidden in the Torah, and eating human flesh, whose prohibition is not explicit in the Torah, then he should choose to eat non-kosher meat, even though its prohibition is explicit in the Torah.
