Ah, I missed the God stuff. But then, the conceptual problems set in even before the equation of God with the 'subject'. See the sneaky edit of my last post. Or concisely: is morality a cognitive act? — StreetlightX
So, for you reason is a human faculty and Reason is the values and prescriptions that faulty gives us an awareness of? But what if different people's faculties of reason show them different values and prescriptions? How could we know whose faculty is dysfunctional and who would be, consequently, wrong? How could our faculty of reason, by itself, tell us such a thing if it is dysfunctional as it may well be? — Janus
I ask one question - what is wrong with my argument? Is it invalid? No. Are any of its premises false? Well, I can't see any reason to doubt any of them and plenty to think they're all true. — Bartricks
Yes, but I was accused, without supporting argument for the accusation, that I did not understand it. :smile: — Janus
