Comment by banannaise 1 year ago Outsourcing your morality to politicians past and present is not a particularly useful framework. 3 comments banannaise Reply Thorrez 1 year ago I'm not outsourcing my morality. There are plenty of actions that are legal that are immoral.I don't think the government's job is to enforce morality. The government's job is to set up a framework for society to help people get along. anonymouskimmer 1 year ago Ethics are only morality if you spend your entire time in human social contexts. Otherwise morality is a bit larger, and ethics are a special case of group recognized good and bad behaviors. chefandy 1 year ago I don't think "ethics" implies group recognition, though-- I'd call those principles mores.
