David,
You say that there must be a moral standards - no universal morality, but the need to hold ourselves and others to some standards. But where do these moral
standards come from. Are you suggesting that they are part of some deontic justice system, some categorical morality, but that this is all right as long as we
are careful not to make this justice retributive?
You use the example of the female circumcision. Let me raise a hypothetical. Let us say that you see female circumcision as morally objectionable, and that one needs to take action when they find something morally objectionable. Let's say you see it happening in a village and determine that it is important to stop. You ask the villagers to stop, but they say no because this has been part of their traditions for a thousand years. You go in and attempt to stop the practice through what you consider moral means - some form of social arbitration in which there are rewards tied to stopping the practice. In the course of attempting to stop the practice some members of the community want to get the rewards and some do not. Old animosities are brought in to play and the village splits along historical lines. Members of the village stop talking with each other, and there are actually stones thrown at houses, people lose their livelihood. There is a fight an somebody is killed. This is all horrifying to you and you do everything you can to stop it, but the situation is spinning out of control. And one group in the village still continues with female circumcision.
In your opinion, were your actions moral?
Michael

Andy and Michael,
Thanks for your replies.
Michael, in an earlier post, takes issue with the reification of morality
"as an object outside of a human's relationship to nature, ... that ...
should somehow stand outside of our activity and act as a commentator, a
sort of Greek chorus, on our actions, and therefore guide our actions."
Instead he suggests we "might see morality as a process, integrated in to
our relationship with nature, integrated in to all the other actions that
we do, with the same quality as all other actions that we do (in other
words our moral actions are not part of a separate category)."
Andy takes issue with what he sees as my "retreat to conscience,"
suggesting instead that "we need a new ethic, we actually have to resolve
an ethos for living together which resolves both the problems which got us
here and the problems we've found when we got here!"
These two comments seem to share a common theme, that it is possible to
find a new, more satisfactory, ethic. For Michael this ethic would come out
of our relationship to nature that we therefore can live without reifying,
and for Andy, from some other source, not disclosed. Neither seems to me to
come to grips with the postmodern dilemma of how to create moral standards
that are not also Moral standards--i.e., to recognize that there is no
universalist solution to morality, yet to continue to hold ourselves and
others to moral standards. My solution-direction is to recognize our own
moral standards for the cultural imposition they are, but to act on them,
nonetheless. What this means is that we have to muster the courage to
impose moral standards without the psychological prop of moral
indignation--the hallmark of Moral action. It also means that we get to
weigh the consequences of our moral enforcement against the moral benefits
obtained by prevailing. For instance, if we decide, say, that forced female
circumcision is wrong, we get to take action on that issue--notwithstanding
that it is practiced within a culture in which it is morally
acceptable--but then we probably wouldn't want to hang transgressors in the
market square (as we might if operating from Moral principles).
Hope this helps.
David

I agree a lot David: we have a problem, we got here for good reasons, but
it is a serious problem, there's no simple solution, and the solution being
imposed by the neocons is worse than the disease.
But I don't agree with your tentative solution, a retreat to conscience (if
I understand you correctly, probably I didn't), we live in a big world and
I think we want to go on living in a big world: we need a new ethic, we
actually have to resolve an ethos for living together which resolves both
the problems which got us here and the problems we've found when we got
here! :-)
