Doesn't it come back to harm?	by bitflipper	2008-08-27 08:52:49
In that case	by MatthewDBA	2008-08-27 08:56:20
Perhaps it goes back to evaluation of harm.	by fractaledge	2008-08-27 09:13:27
There is that. There is also the fact	by bitflipper	2008-08-27 09:20:32
that many--probably most--ethical systems try to establish absolutes of good and bad. Now, as we know--both from our experiences and for our past discussions--absolutes are unattainable in this life. Ideals are wonderful things to postulate, but they cannot be realized, only approached asymptotically. Thus, the ethical systems in question hold as an absolute standard that falsehood is bad. But life tells us that, sometimes, in some circumstances, falsehood may not be quite so bad as all that.
