Time, Tradition & Transformation: The Evolving Landscape of Morality | Anantharaman Ajay | TEDxCUSAT

Описание: Throughout history, morality has been shaped by cultural norms, religious beliefs, and societal values, with definitions of "right" and "wrong" often shifting dramatically over time. This talk delves into the fluid nature of morality, exploring how practices once deemed ethical can become controversial—or even unacceptable—in new contexts. Moving beyond traditional influences, it proposes a transformative approach: grounding moral decisions in the principle of reducing long-term suffering.
