Timeless question: "Is there right and wrong?" Moral dilemmas. Understanding of right and wrong. Exploration of the human conscience. - Věda a technologie
Wow, love the philosophy there! However, the moment you add in Epistemology into the mix, things change a lot. A lot more confusion.
The question asked "is there right and wrong?". And you replied with what is right and what is wrong. That is an objective definition, because historically societies have come up with certain rules over cultures. For example, taking baths together in bathhouses is a thing in Japanese culture, which is seen as a taboo in Indian culture. So your point that culture is subjective stands.
However, when the statement comes as "your truth and my truth", then things get a little more murkier. Assume I have a box of tictacs. The box is translucent, you can see the tictacs in it, and I can see them too. For more confidence, we ask some random passer by, and they can see them too. Now, you claim "there are even number of tictacs in that box, that is my truth!" and I claim "there are odd number of tictacs in that box, that is my truth!"
Both the statements cannot be true at the same time! So there is something called absolute truth. So now, we can verify which one of us are correct by taking the tictacs out and counting them. There is no way that both your truth and my truth are really truths! Maybe we should start saying "what I perceive to be true" instead!
One more, you said "who made this right and this wrong?"
Epistemologists will contend you, by asking "how did you come to the conclusion that it is someone (the word 'who' implies a person) that made the rules?"
Have you thought about the case that "everyone (not just someone) made the same rule"? Or "noone (just no one) made the rules"?
What is the method that you've used to get to your conclusion? Is your method reliable? If it is, how reliable is it and how can we test its reliability?
Try to get more into this, it is confusing and yet is fun.
I addressed this already, if you do not believe that an entity created this world, then there is no right and no wrong. If you do, you must ask the entity what it wants right to be and what it wants wrong to be since it is the one that created rightness and wrongness and existence as a whole to begin with.
@@odayprogrammer True, I didn't say you haven't mentioned it. I'm just barely starting in epistemology and am loving this confusion. My goal in mentioning this is that more people should discover epistemology.
