22. Metaethics / A. Ethics Foundations / 2. Source of Ethics / j. Ethics by convention

23879	In a violent moral disagreement, it can't be that both sides are just following social morality [Weil]
	Full Idea: If two men are in violent disagreement about good and evil, it is hard to believe that both of them are blindly subject to the opinion of the society around them.
	From: Simone Weil (Is There a Marxist Doctrine? [1943], p.171)
	A reaction: What a beautifully simple observation. Simone would have become a major figure if she had lived longer. No philosopher has ever written better prose.
