Default Re: Moral relativity

[ QUOTE ]
It's not that one should aim for an inconsistent moral theory, or there is a point to an inconsistent theory. It's that when we use analogies we can create the appearence of inconsistency when there is none.

I'm not talking taxation is theft anymore. Im trying to figure out what sort of methodology you find acceptable for determining moral theories. Consistancy is part of a methodology. It may or may not be a good thing, but I have a hard time imagining a theory where consistency isnt important. Mabey you could explain why you arent sure about conistency.
