I’m not asserting that moral intuitions can arise without any knowledge of the world.
But not all of my knowledge of the world plays a significant role in the formation of my moral intuitions, for various reasons, any more than all of my knowledge of the world plays a significant role in the formation of my physical and social intuitions.
And (as I’ve said repeatedly) taking all of that knowledge into account along with my moral intuitions when deriving moral rules can lead to a different set of rules than deriving those moral rules based on my intuitions and nothing else (as you initially framed the question).
1) How it is different and 2) How you know (or at least why you think) it is better.
As I said in the first place, the potential value of a systematized moral framework is that it can allow for consistent behavior across sets of situations where my intuitions are inconsistent, and some people value consistency.
If that’s not clear enough to preclude the need for guesswork, I apologize for the lack of clarity. If you have specific questions or challenges I’ll try to address them. If I’m just not making any sense at all, I’d prefer to drop this exchange here.
