thinking of a framework for core principles
An ideal morality versus imperfect law codes
So, pointing at core principles as our main topics, we should look for:
- whom humans relate with,
- whether humans can think of perfect relations,
- which rules avoid a diminishing justice and good,
- which propositions improve justice and good,
- how to build up coherent rules avoiding confusion.

That's a comprehensive approach. Focusing on core principles and their relationship to human interactions is a valuable way to explore the pursuit of justice and goodness.
Here's a breakdown of your points:
- Who humans relate with: Understanding the nature of human relationships is essential for understanding the context in which moral principles operate. This includes considering relationships with other individuals, groups, and the environment.
- The idea of perfect relations: Exploring the concept of perfect relationships can help us identify the ideals we strive for in our interactions with others. While perfection might be unattainable, understanding our aspirations can guide our moral decision-making.
- Rules avoiding diminishing justice and good: Examining existing rules and regulations can help us identify those that promote or hinder justice and goodness. We can also consider how to modify or create new rules that better align with our moral ideals.
- Propositions to improve justice and good: Identifying specific actions or policies that can promote justice and goodness is crucial for practical implementation. This might involve advocating for social reforms, promoting ethical education, or supporting initiatives that address inequality and injustice.
- Building coherent rules avoiding confusion: Ensuring that rules and regulations are clear, consistent, and aligned with our moral principles is essential for effective implementation. This involves careful consideration of potential consequences and unintended consequences.
