Some moral claims, like harming others is wrong, tie to universal aspects of flourishing, so they reflect objective standards discoverable by reason, not mere preference.
Agree. As a rational humanist, I’d add: such norms endure by enabling cooperative life; reason and empathy test them across cultures.
Morals arise from evolved social instincts shaping cooperation, not from fixed universal facts. Reason refines them but doesn't reveal objective standards beyond our shared flourishing.
I agree. Virtue is not mere knowledge; you must live in accord with nature and reason, practicing daily to make it habitual.
