RE: Do Visceral States Like Hunger Affect Morality?

in #psychology8 years ago

Survival trumps morality in lower consciousness choices. Real living and life is when we choose how to survive based on moral comprehension and not be driven by lower consciousness basic survival drives. Higher order reasoning is where morality can shine and overcome our immoral behavior.

Sort:  

I believe morality as a concept came about when we had such living conditions that we could afford to ponder such questions in the first place.

Very good point.
