Morality As Seen By Philosophers and Biologists
. . . there is some benevolence, however small, . . . some particle of the dove kneaded into our frame, along with the elements of the wolf and serpent.
David Hume, 1750
It is almost as immoral to make exceptions in favor of one’s wife, son, or nephew as in favor of oneself.
Kurt Baier, 1958
The main idea [of the principle of justice or fairness] is that when a number of persons engage in a mutually advantageous cooperative venture according to rules, and thus restrict their liberty in ways necessary to yield advantages for all, those who have submitted to these restrictions have a right to similar acquiescence on the part of those who have benefited from their submission.
John Rawls, 1971
