Study Notes

Freedom and Morality

  • Morality involves choices that shape personal identity and determine eternal destiny.
  • Freedom influences decision-making; it can be viewed as a license for self-indulgence or as a mission to enhance personal and societal fulfillment.
  • Understanding of human freedom impacts moral compass and authenticity in choices.
  • True human freedom is defined as the ability to choose the best possible good consistent with natural law.
  • Philosophers, particularly Kant, emphasize freedom as integral to moral behavior, linking autonomy with self-created laws.
  • According to Kant, moral law arises from self-awareness as a free individual, subject to the principles of natural causality.

Culture and Morality

  • Mary Douglas noted a disconnect between anthropologists studying morals and philosophers discussing ethics, leading to unfulfilled communication.
  • Current anthropological and philosophical discussions rarely intersect, as they address morality and culture from distinct perspectives.
  • Culture, derived from the Latin "cultura," refers to the care or cultivation necessary for individual development and social belonging.
  • Evolving from shared experiences, culture aids in translating potential into achievements, reinforcing community ties.

Cultural Relativism

  • Edward B. Tylor's classic definition of culture highlights its complexities and evolving nature.
  • Cultural relativism may promote individual moral codes but risks chaos in societal standards of right and wrong.
  • Although appealing, cultural relativism can hinder moral progress by prohibiting critical evaluation of cultural practices.
  • This concept often obscures issues of diversity, leading to exclusionary attitudes rather than inclusion.
  • Cultural relativism could undermine humanity’s advancement by eliminating comparative judgments of moral standards over time.
  • While cultural relativism seeks to acknowledge diverse moral perspectives, it can inadvertently create a bias that distorts truth.

  • Noteworthy cultural characteristics include:

    • Paggalang (Respect): Use of respectful language with elder individuals.
