Notebook: Morality as a Natural Phenomenon

Referring to an earlier post, I received a comment that referred back to a yet earlier post of Virtue and the good Lady Philosopher,whose name I forget for the moment, who had emphasized the study of Virtue.

Ben's comment made me realize that a great deal of Morality talk may be subsumed under Virtue. There is not much opposition to Virtue as a Natural Phenomenon. We have not gotten into a rut about thinking about Absolute Truth and Virtue; indeed, it may seem that Virtue is man's while Morality belongs to God; a good deal of our problems in Morality is mixing the two.

I'm babbling. But I think this is a very fruitful line of investigation.
