How do you decide what is a 'good' or a 'bad' moral system? Or do you mean consistent/inconsistent?<br clear="all"></blockquote></div><br>In my example above, I intended it "from any arbitrary POV". <br>
<br>That is, an "excellent moral system" is just shorthand for a "moral system that you find excellent, whatever that may be".<br><br>The distinction between morality, moral and moral philosophy, which I see shared with a slightly different vocabulary by Anders, is in fact meta-ethical, and is applicable to any system(s), historically existed or even purely hypothetical.<br>
