here's one. I'm looking at a job that will double my commute but pay me more money and could have better long-term growth potential. should I take it or not? (if they were to offer it).

So where did morality come from then?

And we're off.

How is that a moral decision?

Seacrest: if you were in a situation where you and your family were being held hostage by terrorists, and all of you could be set free if you gave up classified information that could potentially harm or even cause death to 100 Americans, would it be morally correct to give up the information?

_________________

I think that we can agree that some philosophers still argue about that. Many do not.

I think we can all work together by setting aside the "where it came from." that doesn't lead anywhere anyway.

=====

it's a moral decision because it has to do with what is right vs. wrong. is 5 hours more family time worth $1000, $100000, $bazillion??? Infinity??

The vast majority still do. There's no clear-cut answer. Psycory and TM are in academic settings daily... maybe they can chime in here.

We can all work better together by acknowledging our different ideas and their origins, rather than trying to pretend that they do not exist. Contemporary college philosophy courses are an excellent example of this.

How does your family feel about the extra time away?

There are many philosophers that have discovered clear cut answers.

While I acknowledge it is incredibly difficult to find Thomistic or Augustinian philosophy on many college campuses today, that doesn't mean it is not easily discovered and studied.

They don't want him to spend more time away from the family but they could use the extra income.
