Intuition by: Paul B

Intuitionism follows from Paul’s doctrine of no excuse

Robert Audi defines ‘intuitionism as an ethical theory to be, in outline and in a minimal version, the view that there is at least one moral principle that is non-inferentially and intuitively knowable.’[1] He describes a ‘generic intuitionism’ as the ‘stronger view, on which there is a group of at least several such moral principles (such as we find in W. D. Ross and others)’[2] Lastly, he describes ‘an intuitionism’ as a ‘specific intuitionist theory’ that ‘also incorporates a particular set of basic moral principles that directly apply to daily life.’[3] I think it’s fairly clear that Paul’s doctrine of … Continue reading →

Burundian Couple's story

This site's advertising goes 100% to Burundi

Until further notice, the advertising on this site will go 100% toward the work of MicroJointVentures, which I manage. All present Microjointventures have 9 Joint ventures with 8 churches, all in Burundi. Brick kiln, Honey, shop, fresh fruit and other businesses help both the churches and the poor in the 3rd poorest country on earth (by GDP per capita, IMF data 2010-2011). And so far, none of the dividends or fees have gone to a person outside of Burundi. So please click on an ad if you find it interesting. I am seeking to avoid ads to which I am philosophically opposed, but I can not guarantee the quality of the products in the ads. I do not endorse any of them.
