[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 76298990, member: 342064"] I am not sure this all follows. For one when you say the core basics of morality develop very early what do you mean. Because moral intuition is so similar are you saying that everyone had a similar influence and upbringing. In fact research has shown that children don't learn about moral values and they have an innate knowledge of moral right and wrong. So if anything this points to as I have said that humans have a knowledge of morality like its some law of nature. Also as mentioned intuition is something that forms through experience and not in the first 3 years of life when we are learning language. Intution comes with experiencing moral life and seeing how it pans out. If thats the case and morality is subjective similar to our "Likes and dislikes" for food then because people have such varied tastes for food the same logic would apply to morality. But we don't see this. Instead we see an almost universal similarity where people intuitively react to moral situations in the same way.
