Thank you, that was interesting, I’d never considered the different paradigms argument. Can you suggest any resources to learn more about the range of different paradigms?
A good introduction in an ethical context is Jonathan Haidt's 'The Righteous Mind'. That was quite influential on my way of understanding and respecting more conservative moral frameworks. Thomas Khun's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is great for understanding exactly how paradigms differ from other basic reasoning systems - I took the point about what counts as evidence from him. I didn't go into the failure of reasoning as a tool for determining moral truths because I'm planning a piece on that, but you could investigate George Lakoff, who talks about how things are highlighted or concealed within paradigms. Glad you found this one interesting - thanks.
