part of it. Is nature moral? or is it simply a tool for human survival and order?
If all of nature does not discriminate between life and death e.g. morals, why do we since we are nature or?
Would morality matter if there was only one person on earth? Morality exists as a way to deal with other people. It is a guide for behavior between individuals. If the **** hit the fan would you still live by your moral code or would you be forced to change it? for example if you had to choose between killing someone so your family could survive or not kill someone and have your family die, would you kill them or would you die along with your family. Morality is illusion.
Calling nature moral is a huge anthropromorphism, but I understand what you are getting at. You might want to look into some nietzsche - the geneology of morals. Nature isn%26#039;t moral from it%26#039;s own standpoint but there is some sort of cosmological order to it. You should be aware of the distinction between nature and domesticated humanity. We are seperate from nature to an extent. We are not purely wild or purely domestiated. I suppose you could compare a human to a dog. Prior to morality we were something comparable to an untrained wild dog, after morality has hit us it has turned us into a house dog that listens to commands, and we make sure not to pee on the carpet but some people occasionally do.
