Let us assume that somebody else decided to do No Ethical Judgment whatsoever, to avoid all kinds of moral theories and all the social-related issues, however, that in itself is a moral theory and having an apathetic point of view of challenging ethical issues is a moral judgment in itself.” Now, some German idealist philosophers, such as Emanuel Kant and Hegel argued that the metaphysics of morality leads to God. In contrast, Utilitarianism and its leading figures like Jeremy Bentham, John Stewart Mill, and the Australian philosopher Peter Singer argue that Utility itself can be ethical and thus remove God from the equation, even though they didn’t say the last part explicitly. Today, we will discuss some issues and questions with Professor Don Dean, a 50 years member of the SGI Buddhist organization that seeks global peace and love. Also, we have with us Professor Bruce McGraw, the author of The Magical Universe New Mythology .Com Welcome to the Show: Question: Is it wrong to say that morality comes from God? Why the Divine Command Theory is problematic? Why you reject or accept such a point of view? Question: Can Science decide for us or help us to recognize what is good or bad for humanity? Ethical Relativism is still challenging because it uses science against the scientific judgment of other cultures. Do you think that we can judge a culture that allows murdering girls for charges of immorality? As recently Jordan witnessed a father who beheaded his own daughter and started smoking and drinking tea over her dead body. Question: Can we remove the religious terminology such as Good and Evil and yet remain ethical beings? Question: Our new globalized world is more in need of a Secular code of Ethics because we are living in a more diverse community and on an interconnected planet. If you agree or disagree with such a statement, can you explain your position? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sohel-bahjat/support
