Petra, Sytze,
Dan zou het gaan om het onderscheiden en benoemen van verschillende soorten kwaad.
Om ze daarna te ontzenuwen, of te bestrijden of over te nemen.
En dat zie ik slecht van grond komen. *)

*) Zie ook Sam Harris zijn benadering als er geen god-sized moraalridder bestaat:
en ook een set verschillende commentaren:

Onderstaande quotes uit je link Roeland.
Volgens mij zie je hier al de relativiteit van het hele verhaal.
1) We gebruiken ons morele kompas om de wereld te begrijpen
2) Dat kompas is aangeboren. (tel daarbij cultuur/opvoeding etc bij op)
3) We hebben blijkbaar verschillende kompassen/basis
4) We denken allemaal dat ons kompas het beste is.
1) people's ordinary way of understanding the world is actually infused through and through with moral considerations
2) According to Yale psychologist Paul Bloom, humans are born with a hard-wired morality. A deep sense of good and evil is bred in the bone.
3) University of Virginia psychologist Jonathan Haidt's research indicates that morality is a social construction which has evolved out of raw materials provided by five (or more) innate "psychological" foundations: Harm, Fairness, Ingroup, Authority, and Purity. Highly educated liberals generally rely upon and endorse only the first two foundations, whereas people who are more conservative, more religious, or of lower social class usually rely upon and endorse all five foundations.
4) Our brains trick us into thinking that we have Moral Truth on our side when in fact we don't, and blind us to important truths that our brains were not designed to appreciate.
