Moral imperatives

Of course, we do not mean to imply any kind of moral imperative here. For example, if you were checking out some dubious looking starting material that supposedly contained a given functionality (e.g., Ar-CH2-Br with no ortho substituent on the aryl ring and no other obvious steric clash between this aryl system and any other), then it would be quite acceptable - and even desirable - to exploit some obvious handle in the form of a cutdown interpretation . In this case for example, if there is no two-proton singlet (or AB system if the molecule is chiral) at around 4.6-4.3 ppm, then you can reasonably conclude that the stuff is not what you wanted. Job done. Move on.

The moral imperative that I perceived then, combined with the normal predilection by youth for daring deeds, left me with little doubt as to my future course of action. The probability that i would find it necessary to become an outlaw was of no great consequence to me, it was an exciting concept that it might be possible to be an outlaw from... 

You don t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." It is easy to see whose deadly interests are being threatened here, and it is also easy to see that those powers who profit from destroying the planet are the same powers who will confiscate your property and throw you in prison for the crime of expanding your awareness. When seen in this perspective, psychedelic shamanism becomes a moral imperative for those of us who care enough about our lives to live them fully and fearlessly, regardless of consequences. Consequences create new choices which create new consequences only a few hundred years ago it was a capital offense to steal a loaf of bread. 

In 1984, Viscusi and O Connor wrote an article for the American Economic Review about the effects of chemical hazard disclosure rules on workers propensity to qxiit. They titled it Adaptive Responses to Chemical Labeling Are Workers Bayesian Decision Makers , referring to Bayes Theorem in probability (see chapter 2). The real question that should be asked, however, is whether workers are Kantian decisionmakers do they accept or avoid risks on the basis of utility, as economists suppose, or do they value above all their autonomy as human beings in the tradition of Kant s categorical moral imperative This is an empirical question we will look for evidence of it in the historical and institutional record (chapter 4), and we will consider its implications for compensating differential theory and labor market analysis in general in chapter 5.

In addition to the many sound health and economic reasons to worry about the environment, there is another urgent moral imperative we have a responsibility to preserve the environment and a fair share of its natural, non-renewable resources for our children and for the generations that follow. 

Overarching this discussion are the incalculable costs in lives and human suffering. The practice of medicine is grounded in the Hippocratic oath to do no harm.

For example, in At the Inland Sea, the play s dynamics centre upon two relationships. They are both between an adolescent boy and an older woman. One is a mother-son relationship and the other is a relationship between the boy and a woman and her baby from Auschwitz who are about to perish in the gas chambers (Figure 1). Bond creates and explores parallels between the moral imperative that the historical Woman places upon the boy, with the confused and conflicting emotional expectations between the boy and his own mother. The Woman tells the boy that if he tells a story to her... 

Figure 1 Mandy Finney in the role of Woman in At the Inland Sea, which was the first commissioned play from Bond by Big Bmm in 1995, directed by Geoff Gillham. The photograph powerfully conveys the tragic vulnerability embodied by this character, who with her baby is an internee of a Nazi concentration camp. Like Joe in The Children, a character known only as Boy is experiencing conflict at home with his mother and anxious about his imminent school examinations. It is out of these tensions that the Woman appears in the Boy s bedroom with her baby, distraught and frightened but determined to survive. Her life-and-death command to the Boy is a challenging moral imperative Tell me a story. Then my baby will live AIS, p. 11)...

Our study has shown that the creative forces that shaped Byzantine orphan care came from the interactions of Greek and Roman laws and customs with the moral imperatives of Christianity. As soon as Constantine accepted the new religion, he turned his attention to the protection of orphans. First, he changed the laws of guardianship to offer greater protection to the orphan wards, and then he experimented with ways to discourage abandonment of infants.
