| I suppose what I am asking could best be summed up as any non-utilitarian world view.
If you attach significance beyond utility to anything, can it be rational?
The best example would probably be human life. Most people (that I know) find inherent value in a human being, whether or not that person serves a practical purpose.
As for absolute morals, it would probably better be put as "absolute morality". Just as a pantheist sees significance and/or beauty in natural laws, can one also attach worth to what they perceive as being moral laws?
It is just. |
