Most ideas of morality are grounded in the realm of the absolute, in the assumption that it was bequeathed by an immutable, fundamental source (usually by the name of God). Given that we have given up the ghost and for the most part do not fall back on "God" as the answer to our questions and problems, this "immutable ground" entity has given way and taken transcendental morality with it.
Have you even read Nietzsche?
By the way, it's not that morality itself is bullshit, just that in large part, any moral system that calls itself absolute is bullshit.
Seriously, how can you believe morality is absolute? Do you believe it's wrong for animals to kill other animals in the wild?

Premodernism states that God is our moral center. Modernism states that the absence of God is our moral center. Postmodernism denies a center.
do you even drift in a universe of un-anchored causality

The guy is right and what you said is just nonsense.
I think the point that you missed is that it has nothing to do with God, but with ideas of absolute. God died, but we replaced him with different anchors, as you put it.
And to add to the nonsense of what you said, I think you actually agree with the other guy. You just don't know.

Let me ask you something. Do you accept the foundations of science? Do you accept the results of science? You, of course, benefit from the results of science, seeing as how we are communicating at this very moment. Science is valid and it presupposes that absolutes are, at best, rare. The speed of light might be constant, but that's only due to our current understanding and because that is what best fits our "model." But this "model" is not fixed, and people will strive to improve it and rectify its errors for as long as we continue doing science.
Why, then, can we not form morality in the same way? Why must our morality be grounded rather than malleable to what best suits our interests as species, society, and civilization?
This is a thought I have stolen from pragmatism, namely John Dewey who also strongly criticizes dogmatic views of morality.

whoa buddy
okay this is just you and me here
but you made a hell of a rhetorical leap there
yes i accept the foundations of science, of course it is valid, but it is also built on the presupposition of a quantifiable universe
there are things in the universe that can be quantified, to be sure. but you're going to have to do a lot of talking to tell me how you're going to quantify a moral system

what about a moral system makes it above being "quantified"?

>>3225342
we can measure how fast a particle moves, given standard definitions of distance and time. i'm not saying that a moral system is inherently above being "quantified", but you (nor i, admittedly) would not have the first idea of where to start quantifying it. unless you have something you'd like to share with the class
