#16 Origin of Morality - Stanley Samuel
Sep 28, 2021 Episode 16
Bino Manjasseril

When babies are born, are they born with a moral sense?  Or do we need society and parental nurturing to develop morally sensible individuals?

Joining me today for a conversation on the origin of morality, Stanley Samuel. In an earlier episode, Stanley and I discussed the objective and subjective nature of morality. Today we are addressing the question of who is the author of moral sense among sentient beings, specifically humans. 

Is morality merely a self-preserving tendency for humans? Don’t we all like nice behavior because it guarantees us pleasure and less suffering? Or is there a more deeper source for our moral compass?
