The failure of the human race to acknowledge the moral demands of complete strangers is arguably humanity's fundamental failing as a species, and the source of all its political troubles. There are no moral demands of complete strangers. I am not morally required to take any action for strangers, or even non-strangers. By that argument , not giving everything I own away in order to feed strangers is immoral. Does that mean I wouldnt do something for strangers? Not necessarily, but there is no moral requirement to. It does not make me immoral to not care about what is happening to someone I know nothing about and have no ties to. |
