ways to go about it: one, it does not produce an impossibility kindred to "five is the sum of two and two," even if it contradicts our moral values, and, two, there are tribes and what we take to be the pinnacles of civilizations who commit cannibalism all the time. In Papua New Guinea, Michael
Rockefeller, who was related to the richest man in America, was eaten by tribesmen when he visited them (with good intentions); the law of the land, there, gave the tribesmen, according to their moral principles, the right to eat him. (He didn't respect their customs, and those who knew the tribesmen were the ones who eventually confirmed the rumours of poor Michael's fate.) In Europe and North America, you have transubstantiation, which you no doubt know, is the ritual of transforming bread and wine into Jesus Christ's flesh and blood, and it's consumed during Mass. And if one thinks the example could be better, mummies were all the craze in Victorian England, when affluent British travellers would hire Coptic Egyptians to raid tombs for a mummy, bring it back home, engage in an unwrapping ceremony, and either sprinkle bits of mummies with their alcoholic cocktails or create "mummy-brown" paint for their rooms.

I don't think the literal meaning is "the first thing that must occur" because I don't think that's how language comprehension works on a neurocognitive level. I could be wrong; I'm not an expert, and I would have to review the research, but given my informed intuitions about non-literal language comprehension, the claim is not even plausible on its face.

individuals. The word 'perfection' is too ambiguous - perfection implies we have multiple versions of the same object (or multiple same category objects) where one version is better than the other. But judgement of being better is difficult to measure: we can easy measure who/what is faster or we can more or less easy measure who/what is stronger.

Whew! The long explanation is an attempt to show the departure between moral principles and analytic truths.

As for the meaning of life, I'm not here to either agree or disagree with theories; I came here to do the

I like your observation about the quality of the references in this article, but that's irrelevant to what I said about Wipf and Stock, because I wasn't arguing against citing Abaza's book in this article. I wouldn't oppose including a sentence or two about Abaza's position in an appropriate section.

My second paragraph was intended to be jocular; I can see how my humor might not have been clear. Or perhaps you just didn't find it funny.

The sentence "There is not a definitive answer" need not imply relativism; it could also be interpreted as saying that a definitive answer is attainable but not yet attained (if we assume that "yet" or "currently" is implied) or as saying that there is no consensus on a definitive answer, which seems

He, basically, states that "the meaning of life" cannot have more than one meaning because it lacks the affix -s, making it singular (23 and 104–105).

A Section devoted to language/semantics should be added because there are a handful of linguistic philosophers who wrote on the subject, Kai

The reason why Singer's theory is a mismatch with Abaza's is because moral philosophy, on the normative side, doesn't have principles that can form analytic or absolute truths in the way augends two and two equal the sum of four; one can conceivably deny that cannibalism is wrong, but there are two

I read your comment before mine carefully, and I did not miss anything. I chose to address other issues, in part because I don't find your (summary of Abaza's) argument's appeal to necessity convincing at all, perhaps because I don't think that either of the premises is true, and so the attempt to

Well, I'd like to start off by expressing my sincerest appreciation that you've carefully read my comment before responding (as I did with yours). It's true that in philosophy, it's almost a platitude to say that many theories by writers of varying calibres may not be convincing. In a time long

These remarks tilt in favour to perspectival relativism, which isn't what
