Can moral absolutism be justifed?
A:Moral absolutism is an ethical view that certain actions are absolutely right or wrong, regardless of other contexts such as their consequences or the intentions behind them. Saint Augustine, who was a famous early proponent of moral absolutism, said that it was not even permissible to tell a lie in order to prevent a great evil such as a murder. He said that by lying to a potential murderer about the whereabouts of his intended victim, we would be condemning ourselves to hell in order to extend someone's stay on earth and perhaps save the potential murderer from hell. On this rather extreme view, moral absolutism is always justified. It has been noted that in later life, Augustine found practical reasons not to follow his own standards, but could always justify his actions without compromising his stated position.Most people would find it difficult to justify moral absolutism. They would say that it is proper to tell a lie not only to avoid a possible murder, but even to avoid unnecessary grief for a bereaved person. It can be justified to assault a person contemplating a serious crime, even though that person is, as yet, innocent of any crime. On this view, moral absolutism is not justified.
