The Personal Classroom

Personal Classroom

 

This section of the Ethics Classroom is an experiment.

 

In an increasingly complex world, to suggest that there is a single ethical standard that all should live by is disingenuous at the least. On the other hand, it is necessary for each of us to have some “moral compass” available as we make difficult choices day-by-day.

 

How we make ethical decisions and the effect of those decisions on others is at the heart of the Personal Classroom. As information expands in this section of the Ethics Classroom, a variety of ideas, ideologies, and philosophies will be examined.

 

The purpose will not be to “moralize” to any web visitor, but to simply present views that deserve to be entertained. Whether or not, the reader elects to pursue these views will be left to him or her.

 

You may wish to visit  the Ethics Forum also found on this website and engage in a discussion with others as to your views on the topics presented.

 

If you would like to discuss any issue related to ethics with me personally, I would be delighted to hear from you.

“Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority.

 

The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong.

 

 All human progress, even in morals,  has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them

 

The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on 'I am not too sure.' "
