A:A moral absolutist like St Augustine would say that one should never commit a sin, even to prevent a much greater wrong. Lying is a sin, so it is not permissible to lie in order to prevent a rape or murder. Over time, Augustine himself found moral absolutism a difficult position to maintain.
Most of the governments in mainland Europe (and much of the rest of the world) were absolutist, so it is hard to say which was the "most absolutist". It would be like asking which type of cheesecake was the "cheesecake-iest". France was certainly the standard-bearer of absolutism during the Reign of Louis XIV in the 17th century, but the Prussian, Austrian, Russian, and Ottoman governments were no less absolutist than was France.
The moral process would most likely be considered a behavior and most all behavior is processed in the frontal lobes, also known as the motor cortex.
An empiricist would most likely look for moral knowledge through observation and experience of human behavior, social interactions, and cultural norms. They may also rely on scientific studies and psychological research to understand how individuals develop moral reasoning and ethical beliefs.
That would most likely be a fable, as it seems that this story has a moral.

An allegory is a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one..
absolutist
"Absolutism" is the idea that something is right or wrong without reference to any standard, even if it promotes something that would be considered good or bad. For instance an absolutist might say that stealing is wrong even if one steals food to feed one's family. Very few people understand what "moral" means. When two or more people live in the same area they have to adopt some rules about who does what to whom. Any such rule is called a more, pronounced "mor-ay". The adjective form is moral, and the habit of following mores is morality. Mores do not have to be right, only accepted. Another group on the other side of the river might have very different mores. A person who has not traveled tends to assume that his local customs are laws of the universe, and differing morals are associated with differing religions. Morals have no connection with religion. For example, many or most people think illicit sex should be punished by death, laws prescribe jail time, and the bible commands banishment.
