Telos and Ethos

This meeting begins our series on ethics.

With a working metaethical framework, let us analyze and evaluate the conventional morality and its ethos. What is the conventional morality? What are its prescriptions, such as its values, virtues, disvalues, and vices. How were they brought together into the present package? What are presupposed by them? What consequences follow from following the conventional morality? How does the conventional ethos work through the culture? How does it affect a society adhering to this morality and exhibiting this ethos? How does it affect the conventional individual? How does it affect someone who isn't conventional?

These questions and maybe a few more will be explored.
