A master’s degree in Philosophy, specializing in ethical theory.
Take for example, the statement “he didn’t deserve that”. How do we find out if that’s true?
Or we can look at the lack of epistemological grounding. If I bet you €5 that some building is taller than another, we can go online, find out who’s right, and the money’s paid out.
Now imagine I bet you that fur clothing is always morally wrong. How could the money get paid out? What evidence would make a publicly available conclusion?
I think no one is being vague except for you. Before even saying “he didn’t deserve that”, anyone from a philosophical background would ask a thousand questions to you, starting with “he who?”, “what happened to him”, “he did what?”
So you’re saying speach about Ethics isn’t vague, because someone who’s studied philosophy would ask one thousand questions about the situation. Is that what you’re saying?
Those were like three basic questions that naturally come to mind when someone suddenly talks about justice… Dude please dont ever work in politics, please dont, please okay?
What makes you think moral debates are “vague”?

Why all the hate?
Because I dont take authority appeal and bad faith arguments lightly
