Default Re: Philosophy questions - Morality & Moral Theories

[ QUOTE ]
Is your monitor defective and not displaying the word "IMPLEMENT" when I type it?

[/ QUOTE ]

There are two types of implementation for a moral theory. The first is to personally subscribe to it, to judge own's actions according to that value system. The second is to legistlate it, to force others to obey it. The latter is not a part of Utilitarianism, or of any philosophical system. I said that you are conflating morality and legality because you intend only the legal definition of implementation, but refuse to let go of the moral definition of implementation.
