If the laws of logic only exist because of thought, why do we need laws of logic to correct our thoughts?
What do you even mean by "correct our thoughts"..? And why do you think that thought isn't also just as necessary in doing that? Being introspective of your own thoughts...also requires thought. There is literally no world in which logic is even capable of being used without thought, because that's where it comes from.
If there is no "objective basis for morality ... [and it] is completely made up" then why have you repeatedly claimed that it is "wrong" to deny a woman her "bodily autonomy" by restricting abortion, and why have also claimed that it is "wrong" for capitalists to "exploit" workers?
Because that's how arguments work. I am making the claim that x is wrong, based on the premises of a, b, c, etc...because those are the premises that I personally believe to be true and sound, which is the argumentative justification for my conclusion. That's fundamentally what a moral argument is. If morality was objective, then there would be some means of empirical proof that a specific set of premises were somehow objectively correct, and that all others are somehow objectively wrong, but there is not anything like that, nor would it even be possible to do so. Morals are simply the conclusions to whatever set of premises that you accept or believe in, so the only way to justify your morals to others is through argument. For example, my claim that "denying people their bodily autonomy is wrong" is because I believe in the premise of "all people deserve the right to bodily autonomy", and, argumentatively, anyone who also agrees with that premise should agree with that conclusion. No one is "objectively correct" because it's entirely up to the soundness of your argument based on the premises you accept. This is literally the fundamental basis of what arguments are and why we do it...I'm not sure why… Llegeix més
