Document Summary
Proceduralism correct moral views emerge from the correct procedure follow the procedure and ou"ll see what the outcome is you"ll land on the right answer to your moral question: e. g. Golden rule, kant"s universalism, rule-consequentialism rights-based theory. These views are good because they make us realize what"s right/wrong they explain and justify why things are immoral. We are all largely self-interested we all want power over others, physical security, money, and pleasure: our deepest goal is to overpower everyone else president"s power + bill gate"s money. Problem no one wants to be ruled over everyone wants to be at the top: we are rational cooperate we do this conditionally on the condition that others do it too, e. g. Hobbes state of nature war against all ruthless competition. First principles omits intention + virtue + consequences. Too selfish all about me & my rights . Internal fight 1st generation vs. 2nd generation. Standards are not high enough according to aristotle.
