Talk:Universal ethic

Merge proposal

Universal ethic and Moral universalism both seem to cover the same topic. If there aren't any distinctive features the two articles should be merged. --Zinnmann (talk) 08:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Merge.

I also agree, and Id like to take this opportunity to point out that a system of morality based on the teachings of a God is by its nature not an example of moral universalism since it assumes a morally just hierarchy between Gods and mortals with different (and in fact opposing) morals applying to each group —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.104.94.189 (talk) 22:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, as long as nothing is lost in the mix. I especially like the following line, and would hate to see it discarded: "A society has liberty when its mandates conform to and enforce the universal ethic accepted by its citizens." I also like the juxtaposition on property ownership. Razor6 (talk) 14:46, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

definition

The article is about the "Universal ethic" yet it goes on to say "A moral right to do X means that the negation of that act is morally wrong". Ethics and morality are not the same thing. Of course I could go on about the subjective nature of the rest of it, but I'll spare you.
