Fundamental similarity is not an axiom
| Fact discussion: . |
|---|
| Opening statement: This statement is not an axiom: There is no fundamental difference between other individuals and I (in the meaning of You and I in trialogue); the only difference is the point of view. In other words, I am another individual to another individual, while he/she is I to him/herself. (Therefore, fundamental moral norms cannot distinguish You and I, but they must be the same for everyone. This is the criterion for differentiating fundamental and non-fundamental moral norms.)
Closing statement: Accepted. (Resolved, i.e., a closing statement has been found and updated to the main page.) |
| Argumentation:
⇤--1: . The statement was previously the last axiom. However, I show in The role of religion in open assessment that the statement can be deducted from the other axioms and therefore it is not needed as an axiom. --Jouni 05:45, 17 October 2010 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: attack) ⇤--2: . I am no longer convinced about what is said about fundamental and non-fundamental moral norms. This classification might be useful in some situations, but so far I haven't found any such situations. Although similar treatment of people as a moral norm is important, I am optimistic (more now than before) that this idea will emerge anyway in a careful scrutiny of moral norms. --Jouni 05:45, 17 October 2010 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: attack) |
