some questions i have rn, i wanna see if they will be answered later or am i just bugged. “the choice to enlist may simply reflect the lack of alternatives” i know i am extremely privileged but is there truly a case where there is zero alternatives to enlisting? eg. case of saving up for college. maybe just work other entry level jobs? may take longer but the result would be similar or take a loan idk

“If moral reflection is dialectical—if it moves back and forth between the judgements we make in concrete situations and the principles that inform those judgements—it needs opinions and convictions, however partial and untutoured, as ground and grist. A philosophy untouched by shadows on the wall can only yield a sterile utopia.”

“Given the passion and intensity with which we debate moral questions in life, we might be tempted to think that our moral convictions are fixed once and for all, by upbringing or faith, beyond the reach of reason. But if this were true, moral persuasions would be inconceivable, and what we take to be public debate… would be nothing more than a volley of dogmatic assertions, and ideological food fight.”
