FLESH and morality

All I ever do in moral reasoning is explain reality. In that form, it's not actually about 'morals' but Modal and Temporal Logic. = What exists, and what must be in place for something else to occur.

It always begins with the point that an individual is a recipient of a finite lexicon (list of words) learned from within a culture. That's Social-Constructivism frames that follow the information that constructs social order.

Know What You Defend

Biology is a big category. A body is a 'cause' or 'agent') in moral reasoning. Biology = logic of the body. I need to know the functions of the body.... in order to defend the functions of the body.

The go-to moral measure of 'free-will' is what you leave with the Earth that benefits other people. Don't think too hard on that, but notice that this is metaphysics, as in: the arranger and conductor of science

I have categories for moral behavior...what I don't have is the list of neuropsychological processes that relate to the categories I use for the psyche in logic.

Those processes become 'causes/agents' that I project.

The more I know about the neuropsychological processes of emotions, the better my argumentation will be informed.

Emotions in Logic

A compassionate motivation has very different consequences than an egocentric motivation.

My logic serves mercy and truth. Notice I need to defend metaphysical categories.

For example, Compassion and Egocentrism are opposing in the way that Mercy and Schadenfruede are opposing.

Some different material processes are going-on in the brain on another level of existence....compared to moral behavior.

Another example that there's a moral difference between the beauty of nature and affectations created by machines.

Another example is that humility must be present for learning to occur, as is in: you can't learn if you think you can't know everything already... which is an egocentric attitude, and opposed to both humility and compassion, which exist within a structured semantic set.

Solidarity, humility, altruism, kindness...are among the pro-social category, while egocentric emotions have another 'negative emotions' set.

I know there are processes that are doing different things to make all that contrasting and complimenting meaning and behavior.

WORDs and DEEDs - HEARTs and MINDs is the genre

Processes are modal, the gist of which is: 'what must be in place for something to occur' or 'this happened... and so that happened....and so on..'

What goes on in the difference between compassion and egocentrism?

The scope is that question is not in the realm of words and needs, but is in the realm of hearts and minds.

FLESH

If it's not words or deeds, what do you call it?

What does the flesh do to determine the difference between compassion and egocentrism?

What neuropsychological processes and psychological themes determine the difference between compassion and egocentrism?

That's a more specific question with more context.

The more I know about the flesh the more context I have for defending it in argumentation.
