| richardhutnik said: Pretty much anything that isn't simply resolved comes about when you have rights in conflict. When everything is merely framed in context of rights, there is a lack of yielding or seeing a larger collective good picture. In short, you can't build an optimal ethical structure on rights alone or even one based mainly on rights. |
Rights are conflicting, yes thats very old wisdom. But that doesn't mean you can't build an ethical structure based on rights, you only have to prioritize them.
You could say the same about rules: rules are conflicting with each other. Even if they come from a rules-system, like the 10 commandments from the bible: you can always build situations where these things are conflicting with each other. So - that's your point?
