hello to All, I find the discussion is as provoking as it is interesting, and for hosts of reasons, BUT---, my main point in writing is to try to understand ethics and morality in a critical sense as an ontic object. I cannot as yet structure them into this form. Discursively and epistemicially, I perceive their sole presence as tacit, that is, a generic absence collective through non-engagement. Howsoever, I would really appreciate any offer, thoughts, or guidance on locating/pursuing ethical and moral objects. Thank you.
