Here's an overview of my moral framework. It has really helped me out in life, writing, and relationships.
My structure is based on Standards, Priorities, Values & Principles. People have personal Values & Principles, which can already be nuanced and uniquely different from each other, and then the application of Standards & Priorities add another layer of nuance to the overall moral compass.
This allows for in-depth philosophical and/or pragmatic discussion of any person's morality - whether you think they're good or bad. You can use this framework to sort out, clarify, understand, and discuss a person's morality without passing judgement (or implying immorality).
I do think solid concepts of good and bad (as well as heroic and evil) are necessary in the discussion of morality, but those terms can be used so relatively and differently between cultures that they aren't always helpful. My moral framework keeps things objectively organized without delving into what is considered "good" or "bad" by individuals or groups.
Let me know what you think! Is this helpful? Do you want me to share more of my ideas like this?
