This is worth reading, but notice the assumptions baked in right from the start: "morality is a set of norms and principles that govern our actions... we can also think of morality as consisting of moral reasons... moral norms are universal in the sense that they apply to and bind everyone in similar circumstances... they are also commonly held to be impartial, in holding everyone to count equally." Each one of these propositions is debatable, and that's why the article is worth reading. Image: Richard Carrier.
