Hey, this is the Parts of the exam and life preview of episode 272 Part 2, finishing up

Fictus, Vocation of Man.

What you're about to hear is not the very beginning of Part 2 because we talk a little more

about the epistemology, but the transition to book 3 of the text about his ethics and

we start off coming out of the epistemology discussion.

I'm trying to figure out whether his ethics are relative, they are not.

So here you go.

It's not that they're like, you know, your conscience tells you so many variety of different things.

I think he's going to say we're committed to all agreeing on general moral rules.

When we reflect on our conscience, we get something like cons categorical imperative

and he doesn't give it in.

It's like first formulation of do something that everybody could act on that maxima, but

it's more that treat everyone as an end in themselves.

That is what conscience tells you.

You can ignore that, you can turn it off or you can turn it on.

And also with the world, we have this, all has this experience of physical objects in

a world around us and people in a world around us.

And you can, we have the choice to turn that off, to deny it, to be a solipses, to be an

asshole or turn it on.

But there's not like a whole bunch of different directions that you could tweak it.

Yeah, I mean, what do we think?

This is the way this Part 3 starts with conscience.
