The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is known for his views on moral relativism, suggesting that there are no universal standards of right or wrong. He believed that morality is subjective and varies based on individual perspectives and societal contexts.
Socrates did not directly claim that people know right from wrong but choose to do evil. Instead, he focused on the idea that people do wrong because of ignorance and lack of understanding about what is truly good. Socrates believed that once people gain knowledge and wisdom, they would naturally pursue what is right.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. He was inspired by the ideas of Enlightenment philosophers such as John Locke, who believed in natural rights and the social contract theory.
Abolitionist leaders believed slavery was wrong because they viewed it as a violation of human rights and dignity. They saw it as a morally unjust system that exploited and dehumanized individuals based on their race. Additionally, they believed that slavery contradicted the principles of equality and freedom enshrined in democratic societies.
No, being right and wrong are mutually exclusive. Being right means that your statement or belief aligns with reality or truth, while being wrong means it does not. It is possible to change your mind and go from being wrong to right, or vice versa.
Since this is a philosophical question, I can only give a philosophical answer. I feel it is better to be wrong for the right reason rather than to be right for the wrong reason. If one is wrong for the right reason, then I feel they at least had good intentions. If one is right for the wrong reason, then I would have to wonder if their intentions were the right ones in the first place. But the really important thing, in my "philosophical" answer, is for one to be able and willing to admit when they are wrong.
