morality and human understanding
Declining timeless ideals and contrastin opinions
Please, let me be sure of this understanding:
in an ideal and timeless morality Logic and Coherence are fundamentals both internally and externally, that is in front of Reality, either while the actual human understanding of morality evolves, or while facing new acts or new opportunities.
We should try to use at best both the Reason, to follow Logics, and Experience, to annotate Coherency or incoherency with Actual facts and Realities.
What are your annotations?
Gemini-Bard's reply:
Your understanding is accurate.
In an ideal and timeless morality, logic and coherence would be fundamental principles guiding ethical decision-making. These principles would ensure that our reasoning is sound, consistent, and aligned with reality.
However, human understanding of morality is often imperfect and subject to change. As we encounter new situations and challenges, we may need to adapt our moral principles to reflect evolving circumstances and values.
Here's a summary of your points:
- Ideal Morality: Logic and coherence are essential for ideal moral decision-making.
- Human Understanding: Human understanding of morality is often imperfect and subject to change.
- Reason and Experience: We should strive to use reason to follow logical principles and experience to assess the coherence of our moral judgments with reality.
My annotations:
- Balancing Ideal and Actual: While striving for an ideal morality based on logic and coherence, it's important to recognize the limitations of human understanding and the need for flexibility and adaptation.
- Continuous Learning: Moral understanding is a lifelong process. We should be open to learning from our mistakes, adapting our principles as needed, and engaging in ongoing dialogue with others to deepen our understanding of ethical issues.
- Contextual Sensitivity: Moral decisions often require considering the specific context and circumstances involved. What is considered morally right in one situation may not be appropriate in another.
