absolem posted:How come we can have objective laws of X, but not objective morality? The sort I've suggested still seems pretty nice... Because the only truly objective laws, are the laws of science* that hold the universe together. Once we derive a scientific explanation for the purpose of life then perhaps objective morality can be determined. *that is to mean the specifics that hold the universe together rather than what we currently know/understand of them.

Bacon is good, chicken is good, the Double down has naught but chicken and bacon. What other food has nothing but chicken and bacon? The double down is the best food. The billboard I drive past on the way to work has Panda Express offering Orange chicken with bacon

Is there a good philosophy must read texts list anywhere? All of this stuff is highly interesting to me but since my sum total of philosophy knowledge is one semester of babby's first logic class and a political theories class, a lot of this is flying over my head.

Ghost of Reagan Past posted:No, there's no real big list. If you're interested in particular topics I bet I or someone else can give you a short list of things to read but if you're interested in political philosophy, my telling you to go read Kripke right the gently caress now wouldn't really help you in what you want to understand. Alright gotcha, from a brief glance through wikipedia utilitarianism seems to most reflect my views and beliefs so that seems like a pretty good starting point or is would that still be too broad?
