 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
We are thus left with two views as to what is objectively right. We may say: “It is objectively right for each man to pursue his own good”; or we may say: “It is objectively right to pursue the general good”. Here we are still treating “objectively right” as something indefinable, and are assuming the possibility of deciding between the above two propositions, not by a definition, but by argument or ethical intuition.
