what is an example of a conflict between two absolutes? (ethics)?
im doing an essay on moral absolutism for my ethics class. and im writing a bit about 'graded absolutism' which is where if a conflict between two absolutes occur, it is our duty to obey the higher one: duty to god, then duty to others, followed by our duty to our property.
and for every point we make, we're meant to have an example, but i cant seem to think of one!! so could someone give me an example of a conflict between two absolutes please??
ohh and if you have any other points that you think would be good in my essay i would be very grateful. and also anyone know if Kant believed in graded absolutism?
-- thank you --
