Subject: BHA: moral theory in FEW


Hi Jan, all,

Jan, you quoted FEW:

>    " .... the desire to end: [a] one's own suffering (alienation and state
> of
>    desiring) - in self-realisation - itself entails, through the inexorable
>    logic of dialectical universability (as manifest in the dialectic desire
>    for freedom), commitment to end [b] the suffering of all dialectically
>    similar beings, i.e. to the project of universal human self-realisation,
>    and thence to end [c] the suffering of all beings as such, in virtue of
> their
>    dialectical unity as beings, i.e. to truly universal eudaimonia."[EW:149]


I haven't read the book, so I am relying entirely on you and others who have.  I
am really curious about this quotation.  Is it representative of the moral
theory included/presented/endorsed there?  

r.
