On: For Iris Murdoch, morality is about love, not duties and rules

[nelox]

A rule to harm people systematically cannot be moral because it contradicts the very point of morality

[lucyjojo → nelox]

but we started with "morality is grounded in rules". what does "grounded in" means then?

how would you define morality?

[layer8 → lucyjojo]

Morality without rules is arbitrary and unpredictable. The thesis is that morality without rules isn’t workable. Maybe it’s clearer when replacing “rules” by “principles”.
