Moral Judgments

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or judgments:

    “A material resurrection seems strange and even absurd except for purposes of punishment, and all punishment which is to revenge rather than correct must be morally wrong, and when the World is at an end, what moral or warning purpose can eternal tortures answer?”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Scepticism is an ability, or mental attitude, which opposes appearances to judgments in any way whatsoever, with the result that, owing to the equipollence of the objects and reasons thus opposed we are brought firstly to a state of mental suspense and next to a state of “unperturbedness” or quietude.”
    —Sextus Empiricus (2nd or 3rd cen., A.d.)
