A positive attitude towards all others ... is that really reasonable? Nothing can be as dangerous and horrid as people...
The time for sharpening the ethical debate is coming. We can not only rely on old norm systems, based on production problems and local communities.
The religious norm systems are always debated because of their inherent conflict between dogma and practical demands of new circumstances.
We need a norm system that is so simple so it can be understood by all and implemented by all always, in all actual and hypothetical situations.
The norm system should also be so challenging that it is necessary for the individual to use all resources in order to find and do the right - the norms should be based on the total knowledge and experience of man kind since the beginning of time. All cultures should be included and feel at home: this is what we always wanted and valued!
To balance a global ethical norm system on the principle of rational non violence is daring. Normally we want some solid basis.
