Oh wow, pretty spot on.

>>6073913
It's not that hard - you have two utilitarians in the top three, which is a branch of moral philosophy that argues that ethics are founded on maximizing well-being for the greatest number of people, and the other one is Sartre, who's the token existentialist, and existentialism is mostly about the lack of existence of meaning external to the individual.

The good thing is that both of these branches of thought have a ton of material to dig into, and a lot of it that's good, in English, and relatively recent.

Also, don't start with the Greeks. It just doesn't make sense for someone in your position.

Similar, except with more of an emphasis on self-interest and pleasure, rather than utility. i would think, anyway.

>>6073939
Utilitarians, pragmatists, existentialists are all pretty decent people to investigate. John Stuart Mill and William James are decent people in the first two categories, who are also reasonably graspable for people who haven't read a ton of philosophy. And Camus and Sartre are probably decent intros for existentialism all told (although I don't actually like Sartre much personally, but that's not necessarily relevant for getting into things) - "Existentialism is a Humanism" is a pretty standard text I would think. Finding decent secondary sources is also a really useful route to take.

Hahaha. There's a difference between standing for something and being an intractable ideologue. Christ. You are proving my point right now by being so bent out of shape.

Because you don't understand it, that's why. The substance/reality of the bread/wine becomes Jesus's body/blood. But not the appearance of it to all our senses.

I'm Orthodox, so it's different, but even the Catholic interpretation is not that ridiculous.

In my view acting morally is ultimately more beneficial for a group of people, so I think it's a mix of both intelligence and intuition.

I lean on the altruistic side, which I think is the intuitive basis for morals, and I myself choose to act morally so that everyone can lead better lives. Even if my own moral views on something are different from someone else's, we should be able to have a mutual understanding that morals are relative, and it's the intention, which the outcome should benefit both parties, that actually matters.
