Some Truths about Morality

Abstract

The knowledge of morality is usually taken for granted. The terms themselves which describe moral norms and attitudes are used as if their meaning and their implications were well known and clearly understood. The reason for this lies in the nature of morality itself. The moral sphere is so much part and parcel of human beings that its basic tenets are known as if by instinct — and therefore the need for definition does not arise, when one is in the natural attitude.
