Do you think naturalism holds an adequate basis for ethical values? Explain.
-
No – in the end, it is leaving things to chance, so there is very little reason outside of civic and personal values to be ethical.
-
Definitely not. We all have an instinct of right and wrong because we were created with that ability to discern and the reason we were created with that ability is because our lives do have meaning and there is a moral standard.
-
I do not believe Naturalism holds an adequate basis for ethical values because there is no standard. It seems that there needs to be some sort of absolute truth to hold things up against. Naturalists use social group consensus to determine right or wrong. I would be perpetually anxious thinking that imperfect and inherently selfish beings (we all are) are creating all standards and not holding anything to an absolute truth.
-
No. I think we have seen this in our society that having no absolute truth has lead to a degrading of the “truth”.
-
No, because there is right and wrong. You cant live life not feeling right or wrong.
