I’ve been reading the threads about, and have found essay’s on the site about oughtism. Are there any definitive works, or works based upon oughtism that are available for download, or on hard copy that I can order?
I would also like critiques?
All links are appreciated.
you may have seen this link in another thread. in this article more is hashed over and some books are brought up to help clarify.
Thanks I thought this was an old term. I’m looking for the literature that originated and developed this line of thinking, or rather the established authorities for advocacy thereof.
oughtism is a fun play upon a particular concept. from that link:
"This disorder, no offense to all those poor deficient souls who suffer from it, might also be called “oughtism” as a play on words with the disorder “autism.” Accordingly, “oughtism” may be defined as “a brain development, or just a mental, disorder characterized by an impaired ability to recognize and understand natural values/norms/oughts.”
a cure is neo-Aristotelean or to put it simply: to realize that it’s ok to declare that murder is wrong[:)]
