Who says your moral imperative was established? Only you, which seems rather circular as arguments go.
I didn't. I responded to your hypothetical question in which you assumed that I had moral imperatives:
If I reject your moral imperatives against, I don't need to find moral imperatives for, I just need to be happy that it's ethically neutral.....like your standing up/sitting down example, which needs context Ollie, in order to be convincing ;^)
You're also equivocating between the meaning of 'established' as merely held and unquestioned. I never meant the latter--that could only be the outcome of universal moral agreement. This is never going to happen--even the categorical imperative will continue to be questioned.
The question is still: How would you reject a moral imperative unless it were by another, perhaps more powerful, moral imperative?
