Morality identification

שו"תקטגוריה: faithMorality identification
שאל לפני 8 שנים

Good evening, I listened to your series of lessons on Torah and morality, and from what I also saw on the site, I understand that you identify morality with what people intuitively identify as morality. I wanted to ask, in light of the differences between different societies at different times, how is it possible to assume that this tool has an objective-universal aspect? In addition, why assume that a person has a cognitive ability in this field that apparently has a purely metaphysical nature? Thanks in advance.

Hello. There are arguments in Halacha too, and that doesn't mean there is no Halacha truth. The fact that there are arguments can also express that one is right and the other is wrong. What's more, circumstances also affect moral behavior, and therefore people in different circumstances will behave differently, and that's perfectly fine. Beyond that, I also think that the world is progressing, and therefore the rules of morality are changing for the better (in terms of what is accepted as moral behavior. Not necessarily in terms of what is actually done). When an African society meets a European society, the direction of change is clearly in the European direction because it is more progressive (don't tell anyone about my chauvinism). If you don't see it as a cognitive process, then the inference is subjective, and therefore shouldn't be applied to those who think differently. Thus, there is no room for moral criticism of others (you feel this way and they feel differently).
