What is Morality?

Link post

The PDF version can be read here.

The audio version can be listened to here:

Morality has the following components:

  • Collective values.

  • The individual internalization of collective values.

  • The assumption that collective values are objective, and thus “moral”.

  • A folk theory of morality.

  • Individual and collective moral myths.

To understand morality, you need to understand how these components fit together into a system. In this essay, I will describe each component and how it relates to the others.
