...our ultimate moral principles can become so completely accepted by us, that we treat them, not as universal imperatives but as matters of fact; they have the same obstinate indubitability.
The Language of Morals, R.M. Hare
Reading books by R.M. Hare has reminded me, in an absolutely necessary way, that we live in a time that rewards blind passion, stubborn allegiance, refusals to budge. We live in a time with so much information and very little encouragement to assemble the truth. And I can’t help but feel that we’ve got to do that, stay open, for our sake and for the sake of others.
