Beyond Science: Ontology as a Mode of Ethical Inquiry

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper explores the relationship between science and ethics. More specifically, it questions the viability and propriety of inhabiting a scientific perspective and applying scientific methodology to questions concerning our moral lives. A brief survey and critique of attempts at such a project is provided, using evolutionary theory and scientific psychology as exemplars. It is suggested that conceptual confusions and fundamental misunderstandings of the subjects of inquiry (i.e., the human being and its moral nature) render any such project unpromising or perhaps even impossible. The positive thesis advanced is that the human being is ontologically constituted by morality, and as such must be regarded, understood, and treated in a paradigmatically different way than objects of scientific inquiry; to wit, we must employ an ontological method in order to penetrate and speak meaningfully about human beings&apos; moral life.
