Luke writes (again): >This system would be amoral in the sense that it would be a result of >spontaneious decision, something which has it's origin in the unconscious, >and so has no moral intention. If we simply react to a situation in an >intuitive way which "feels right", then that is enough. That is PRECISELY a moral system, a set of rules, guidelines, principles or whatever you wish to call it. And this has been my point all along (I'm sorry I haven't been able to put it better...). Morality has nothing to do with consciousness; yes the super-ego has to do with the implanted "morals" (I actually wrote "no-rals" here first, an interesting typo...) of bourgeois society, but the unconscious has its own morals (and its own logics, i.e. set of rules), and this is the morality (the only TRUE one) you talk about when you say "intuitively feel right".
