POD-B Event: "The Source of Morality"

Some say that morality is created by and for human beings—its origins and authority are relative to the culture we live in. Others are squeamish about moral relativism and instead try to identify some objective basis for morality—science, human nature, or God. This Focus on the Humanities talk will survey these views and reveal the serious problems that beset them all. In the face of such problems, it may be tempting to regard morality as nothing more than a comforting fiction.
