Quotes from the same author
Actually, I defend the right to free abortion.
Torbjorn Tannsjo
People in different cultures think very differently about abortion. Abortion is not seen as a moral problem for example in Sweden or Russia, but it is seen as a difficult moral problem in China and in the USA.
Torbjorn Tannsjo
It is true (independently of our conceptualisation) that it is wrong to inflict pain on a sentient creature for no reason (she doesn't deserve it, I haven't promised to do it, it is not helpful to this creature or to anyone else if I do it, and so forth). But if this is a truth, existing independently of our conceptualisation, then at least one moral fact (this one) exists and moral realism is true. We have to accept this, I submit, unless we can find strong reasons to think otherwise.
Torbjorn Tannsjo
We should not accept moral nihilism unless we find strong arguments to do so.
Torbjorn Tannsjo
There are some particular moral truths that I believe we have access to (such as the one not to inflict pain on a sentient being for no reason).
