I'm curious to hear informed responses to this. At the risk of sounding really, well, exclusive, I'm hoping to hear those with a head for logic and critical thinking respond to this quote. Here it is:

“We have been unable to show that reason requires the moral point of view or that really rational persons need not be egoists or classical immoralists. Reason doesn’t decide here. The picture I have painted for you is not a pleasant one. Reflection on it depresses me. Pure practical reason, even with a good knowledge of the facts, will not take you to morality.” -Kai Nielsen


Lookin' forward to responses. But please refrain if you can't rationally defend your position.

peace.
