AMORALIMS, Ranjit Dungdung

AMORALISM  The amoralist regards moral considerations as wrongheaded, unimportant, or otherwise seriously objectionable. The moralists of interest because reflection on such an can be part of an exploration of how moral consideration can be motivating and what kind of authority moral considerations do or should have for a rational agent. For instant, is the amoralist guilty of irrationality? If an abnormal agent sees that certain considerations are regarded by others as normally decisive reasons but this agent is unmoved by them, is that a failure of understanding, or dose the amoralist simply lack certain feelings or concern that others have and regard as important? In some respects the amoralist plays a role in ethics that is a counterpart to the role played by the skeptic in epistemology. In each case consideration of that role is a method of testing the justifications if claims and seeing if they can meet certain important challenges. It can also be a way of testing whether those challengers are as genuine or as powerful as they are typically claimed be. Consideration of amoralist is an instructive way to explore what sorts of concerns and motives are needed in order for an agent to be a full-fledged participant in the moral world. Kant held that participation in a matter of morality while others, such as Hume, held it is a matter of having a certain kind of sensibility that is natural to us even if it needs to be expended and encouraged in certain ways. An exploration of moralism can be illuminating in respect of whether the position is rational opinion, something a rational agent might genuinely consider for adoption. A weak-willed agent recognizes the weight of moral reasons but fails to act accordingly. The amoralist is simply unmoved by moral reasons- he does not see that they count in favour of the actions they point to as morally required. The amoralist is to distinguish from the vicious agent. That is someone who is committed to moral values but they are wrong or perverse values. Due to the fact that the amoralist do not consider the values as the moral principles. They do not act according to what is morally considered to be virtuous or morally right. When deciding how to act, morally right we often are often faced with uncertainty over, confusion about, or conflicts between, our inclinations, desires, or interest. And these confusion and uncertainties often leads us to promote our self-interests only. But for the amoralist are seriously against the decision to act, for them it has of no moral significant.
