What is Morality?

What is Morality?
Is there such a thing as objective morality?
Who decides what is moral?
How do we know about right and wrong?

How do we access any "moral facts"? (if there are any) i.e. How do we know what they are? How can we form beliefs about them?
What are good grounds for one view over another?
How do we justify ethical principles or standards?
What is the evidence for these principles/evaluations/attitudes toward moral facts? i.e. are there like normal beliefs about the world based upon sense-evidence, memory, reasoning and what other people say?

Psychopaths and sociopaths…
Interesting case of studies, do they imply that the usual psychology of morality is merely conventional (i.e. most of us are like this…) or are they morally malfunctioning?

Sort:  

Existence is quite weird. Why do people assume that things are wrong or right merely based on their cultural beliefs or the way that the systems tells them to think.

Shane Killian provides a logical structure for objective morals (morals beyond someones point of view)

This of course doesn't mean people can't be illogical or mistaken.
