Philosophy Midgley: Trying out ones new sword

- In addition to our own culture, we can understand every culture to judge it

I think that the world is rapidly divided into separate societies, that is, a sealed unit with its own system

The custom of Japan's horse raid means "attach a new sword to a fighter plane." Because there is a possibility of war, warriors should try their own swords first. But according to Midgley this is not good, because the samurai needs to test the sword only for practice. We can not take our lives only to win and practice with war. Even if that is for the benefit of many people, letting this person experiment with is still unethical. Here they are why cloning and experimentation are condemned in Christian society as they know that it is immoral.

At Mary Midgley's she tried to explicitly debate from the perspective of ethical relativists using a new sword. This view leads to the concept of moral isolationism. That is the conclusion that the world can be divided into societies separated from ideas and systems of their own. Through Midori's work, she believes that it is impossible to understand new things and ideas if culture is separated from other cultures. Also, if it is necessary to separate cultures from each other, they also insist that society will divide because it itself is composed of people's backgrounds. In other words, her last argument is that there is a world that everyone must live, both morally and physically. Therefore, it should not be isolated from different cultures.
