Question

If we create moral value and there is no guarantee that our values are correct or will produce good results, why bother to become socially and politically involved at all? How did Sartre answer this question? Do you agree with his answer? Why, or why not?

Answer 1

Moral values are established by culture, religion and accumulation of experience. Values are learned and differs in effect depending on ethnicity and background.

We must be involved in political and social undertakings because in that way we help build a more tolerant environment towards the co-existence and respect of differing values. Besides, you do not want to leave this to the hands of few who may have other agendas not beneficial to public interest. This is what brought the demoralization and havoc amongst society in the first place. You can correct it by being involved.

If you're looking for guarantees on good results, simply look at your own values (deemed moral) and it's consequences on your daily interactions with others. Goodness only reaps goodness.

As to Sartre, I leave that to the modern philosophers.

Answer 2

>>If we create moral value and there is no guarantee that our values are correct or will produce good results, why bother to become socially and politically involved at all?<<

Your question assumes that we have no way of finding out if our moral values are good, when in fact we do: think about them with reason, and/or put them into practice. It also helps to study others' values to see what works and what doesn't.

I don't know Sartre's views on the matter, so I can't comment on that part.

Answer 3

there is pretty much a guarantee that good morals will produce good results. It's like why reinvent the wheel, just follow what the person did that got the good results. Following etiquette gives positive results.

Why bother to become socially involved in good morals? Because those are what you are judged on to be accepted into groups of the wealthy, and belonging to the wealthy group makes you wealthy and wealth rules the world so it's also political motivation.

Answer 4

i do not know of Sartre's answer but this would be mine answer to your query....

first and foremost, we do not create moral value... practice it is what we do. moral values are already set, how one carries it or performs it depends upon the degree of his outlook or principle. in the manner of it becoming incorrect or producing good results as a basis to be used for becoming socially or politically involve... again that's another issue. morals are fundamentally established to follow the righteous way of treating life and all that constitutes it. if it affects our social being, and comes up short of what's expected, then it can not be called morally right. the same holds true when applying it politically. applying morals in political aspects do good for the constitutents and for your nation's sake, the better development of one's country. however, if it implicates a negative aspect or a negative outcome, then the morals set would subsequently be lost in definition and in a sense become an immoral act.

why bother then if it is immoral? why be concern if it becomes immoral? true... it only creates more chaos. but it's people's instincts to say he is right, whatever his neighbor say on the contrary. he believes he acted base on his morals that he thought was correct. a revolution is immoral... but if makes for the betterness of welfare for all, then why judge it as immoral? tardiness is immoral, but if a situation occurs and it made you safe and sound, then why should it be immoral, right? remember, morals are in place, the manner of practicing it, whether righteous or not depends on what concerns the greater good.

Answer 5

The Roman Empire is well known, and historically admired because of its implementation of the law. Nowadays, democracy is defficient if there is no enthuthiasm for the law. Law is not necessarily moral. It could be called "The art of organizing things in a way that ppl dont kill each other".

Answer 6

Oh that's something I ask myself every day!!! That's why I'm not very social ...actually, I'm not social at all!!! I agree with that! Because it's true..!! If we think that what we are doing is right ..we, ourselves should be the only ones to care... we don't need the whole society to care or know about what we do or not do! :-) I 100% agree!
