I don't see how you can base that statement, unless you're confusing naive with innocent. We don't consider babies to be immoral simply because we never expect them to know the difference between good and bad.
One may interpret the story of the fruit of knowledge to be exactly that.
What I meant was that the more naive someone is - the more likely it is he'll be less moral as well.
You need knowledge about who the other is and what can hurt him - to be moral.
Can it even be considered morality if there isn't a knowledge of what is just?
Indeed.
In the first year of law school I wax introduced to the concept of the natural law. Rules that are beyond knowledge, common to all human beings.
We are born with the ability to know good from bad, children know this. They feel what is benefiting life and what is not. As adults our natural ability is shadowed by the same knowledge you are speaking of.
Alright, I'm an amateur in philosophy of law, what would an example of knowledge that people are born with that is more than what sensual feels good or bad?
It's more than a knowledge that is learned.
It's a wisdom about life. Every child has it but as adults we cover it with too much rationality.
I understand, can you give an example though?
The virtue of trust for example.
A child trust that everything in his life will be ok. All the needs will be provided at the right time.
Adults are full of worries, which eventually affect their morality.
Well, wouldn't that be immoral if that "wise" naive person would wrongfully go with his trust when others are dependent on him?
Sure too much worry can negatively affect judgement and ultimately morality as well, but notice why that effect takes place - feelings put the person out of balance - he temporarily losses his faculty of rational and may no longer be considerate, he may no longer see the moral option, he is forced to subject himself to his feeling and his alone.
A child doesn't even have the experience of overcoming his feelings, his moraly is more of a coincidence than a conscious choice of the good of others.
Wouldn't a person who has many dependent on him be rightfully considered responsible to worry and double check his decisions? Wouldn't that person be rightfully considered immoral if he decided to drop all worries and go with full trust on his gut feeling?
Would you trust a surgeon who says that he's gonna let intuition dictate the course of your operation?
I get the impression that our definitions for morality differ.
You came up with several issues, but this venue is too limited to discuss them all, unfortunately.
