Moral Judgment
Question
With God’s help,
Hello Rabbi,
Does the Rabbi know of moral theories by means of which one can condemn the “bad” or praise the “good,” without relying on the idea of objective morality / God and the like, and that also hold up…
Because I understood that there are such theories, but I’m not sure which ones. And at first glance that sounds a bit too puzzling to me…
Answer
No. See the fourth notebook (the fourth discussion in the first book of the trilogy). There are many who say so, but I do not agree that there is any real substance to what they say.
