It’s interesting to me that when we look for guidance on big topics like, ”What does it mean to be a good person?”, or “What makes for a meaningful, worthwhile life?”, many of the canonical texts we regularly refer to are very old. Nicomachean Ethics, Meditations and the Bible, for instance, were written ~2K years ago. What should we make of this? Should we ‘expect’ our answers to these questions to evolve? I wrote some thoughts (and questions) on moral imagination. Link in reply.
