24. A Philosophical Discussion Of The Basis For Contemporary Moral Choices A paper by merwin Sibulkin offering an approach to morality which is independent of religious texts and addressing contemporary moral problems. http://www.geocities.com/empmor/Morality.html#http://www.geocities.com/empmor/Mo

Morality/Ethics A Philosophical Discussion of the Basis for Contemporary Moral Choices The following paper is an attempt by the author to clarify his thoughts about the basis for making moral choices. As such it may be of interest to others thinking about this problem. Merwin Sibulkin AN EMPIRICAL APPROACH TO MORALITY Abstract The objective of this paper is to offer an approach to morality which can assist those who do not subscribe to the authority of a religious text to address contemporary moral problems. The paper is divided into three sections. In the first section a very brief outline is given of three of the most widely discussed theories of morality in the British-American literature: utilitarianism, deontology and Rawls' version of social contract theory. Their basic premises are mentioned, and some of the major objections raised against each of the theories are presented. The second section presents an empirical approach to morality based upon three explicitly state premises. We raise the questions of why an individual should act morally and how others can be persuaded to act morally. In response a distinction is proposed between prima facie self-interest and overall self-interest and applied to those questions. In section three we try to illustrate how to apply the approach developed above to some contemporary moral questions.

Survival Summary The speaker muses about his assumptionwhich he now believes to be incorrectthat "any person with normal feelings" or who was well-educated would understand "pain when it went on before them / and would do something about it." He tries to explain why, in fact, this does not happen. Perhaps "it escapes their attention" or perhaps . . . . The speaker enumerates his vision of massive slaughter and destructionof children, animals, " victims under the blankets." [20 lines] Commentary In this short poem, the speaker addresses the question of how we can tolerate the suffering around us. Don't we have an impulse and an obligation to take action when we see another individual in pain? Why do we fail to do this? Are we simply unaware, or are we overwhelmed by massive suffering? Or, he implies, mankind is really too bestial and murderous to care.

I keep these poems on the back of my mind at all times just to remember them and how I felt reading them. Merwin is so exceptionally good at copying the moment into our lives through himself, using the poetry of the spirit to communicate something beautiful deep inside of us all. straight opaque A transcendental Experience with one's self This is one of the greatest books of modern poetry. It is a book for a quiet Sunday afternoon, sitting alone, let the words flow and guide one to the pervading essence. I can't begin to write as wonderful a review as Mr. Pipper wrote. I second everything he said and feel that as impossible as it may seem this poem makes one feel that you the reader are special for the reading of it and one wonders if there is another alien in the universe who can think or feel these words. The pupil is the poet, his childhood musings, not literal but as points of departure to create (what was that wonderful word Pipper used "capaciousness") yes that's it, a three dimensional experience of time and space. The entire book should really be read from cover to cover as the effect is transforming and accumulative.

Pablo Neruda Veinte poemas de amor y una Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair XX Escribir, por ejemplo: "La noche está estrellada, y tiritan, azules, los astros, a lo lejos". El viento de la noche gira en el cielo y canta. Pensar que no la tengo. Sentir que la he perdido. Eso es todo. A lo lejos alguien canta. A lo lejos. Mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido. Como para acercarla mi mirada la busca. Nosotros, los de entonces, ya no somos los mismos. Su voz, su cuerpo claro. Sus ojos infinitos. Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero tal vez la quiero. Es tan corto el amor, y es tan largo el olvido. mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido. XX Tonight I can write the saddest lines. Write for example, 'The night is shattered and the blue stars shiver in the distance.' The night wind revolves in the sky and sings. Tonight I can write the saddest lines. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too. Through nights like this one I held her in my arms. I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.

About W. S. Merwin Jay Parini M erwin was born in New York City and grew up in Union City, New Jersey, and Scranton, Pennsylvania. His father was a Presbyterian minister. 'I started writing hymns for my father as soon as I could write at all', Merwin has said. He attended Princeton University, where he studied writing with John Berryman and R. P. Blackmur, to whom his fifth book, The Moving Target (1963), was dedicated. Merwin spent a postgraduate year at Princeton studying Romance languages, an interest that would lead, eventually, to his much-admired work as a translator of Latin, Spanish, and French poetry. Having left Princeton, Merwin travelled in France, Spain, and England. He settled in Majorca in 1950 as a tutor to Robert Graves's son. Graves, with his interest in mythology, would become a primary influence on young Merwin. Moving to London in 1951, Merwin made his living as a translator for several years. Meanwhile, back in America, his first book of poems won the Yale Series of Younger Poets Award for 1952, selected by W. H. Auden, who remarked in his introduction on the young poet's technical virtuosity. That volume, A Mask for Janus
