This is an idea that I have been kicking around for a while now, so I thought I might throw it out there and see if I might get some feedback.
With the exception of non-cognitive and inanimate agents, there exists, beyond the human experience, only two alternative modes of being, both of which can be identified within modern popular culture: the monstrous and the divine.
Is it possible that such clear juxtaposition of so arbitrary concepts have been reductive in context to moral and social development over the past several decades? Further, could this, are inability to consider alternative modes of existence, be responsible for the formation of such black and white moral theory?
