possibility for those who would like to know. For various reasons it is <I>no
longer available on a routine basis</I> from the dominant institutions of
society: family, church, schools and professional bodies of the various sorts.
In this sense moral knowledge has "disappeared." But that does not
mean it does not exist or is impossible. To have knowledge of a subject matter
means <B>to be able to represent it as it is on an appropriate basis of thought
and experience.</B> This applies to <I>any</I> subject matter. And in this
precise sense it is possible to have knowledge of moral distinctions, as they
exist among persons, actions, character traits—and even laws and institutions.</FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C9F5DCAE-3D32-4FCA-B9A8-F4A8740B72C5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
