Philosophy Questions

1. What are the reasons why such statements as "well it's true for them…" are confused and mistaken (with exceptions)?
2. What is the difference between the terms non-moral and moral and amoral? (You should also have picked up from my responses to certain posts that it is simply a mistake to "rule out" without argument certain actions as non-moral. Abortion and sexuality simply are moral issues, at least insofar as they dramatically affect other people. Do not confuse the ethical judgment (that some people may have) that sexuality is in most contexts morally acceptable, with the judgment that sexual behavior is a behavior which is not subject to any moral evaluation at all.)
3. Why are such statements as "no one can tell me what to believe (or what to do)" doesn't work as a response to moral criticism? And why it isn't a very respectable or sophisticated response to differences in opinion?

4. What is "nihilism" is and how it is not the same thing as "skepticism"?
5. What are the reasons why such statements as "who needs morality?" are confused and mistaken (with exceptions)?
6. What is the difference between the law and morality and why the law is an insufficient moral guide?
7. Where do humans get their views about morality? The various stages of development that many humans experience?

Answer 1

1. Statements such as "well it's true for them.." is confused and mistaken for exceptions for following reasons - People think of the general scenarios and when someone says a different scenario, which they have not experienced it, then to validate their experiences and regard their opinion, we say statements like "its true for them". It means it has not been happening generally and widely and since it has happened now, the new experiences are validated.

Such statements should be seen as experiences and exceptions.
