There are many threads on where morality comes from, or is morality possible without religion.
What I would like to discuss is, just what is mortality? It is to simple and obscure to just say morality is knowing right from wrong. It leaves to much open for interpretation on what is right or wrong.
A basic, simple definition of morality should be, doing what there are the most logical reasons for doing, while giving equal consideration to the interests of each individual who is affected by one's decisions.
Does this sound like a good basic starting point for morality?
If so, how would you expand it?
If not, why not? And can you offer up an alternative basic minimum definition.
