KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Morality must relate, at some level, to the well-being of conscious creatures. If there are more and less effective ways for us to seek happiness and to avoid misery in this world - and there clearly are - then there are right and wrong answers to questions of morality.
道德必须在某种程度上与有意识的生物的幸福联系起来。如果我们在这个世界上有更多或更少有效的方法来寻求幸福和避免痛苦——显然有——那么道德问题就有正确和错误的答案。
