timelets“Logic really means putting your thoughts in order.
...
Ethical order is order that reason produces in acts of the will.
...
Whenever we ask a question about what we ought to do, we are ordering our choices by an ethical standard. That order tells us what we really think is good. It shows us what our values really are. Should I lie to save twenty bucks? Should I help the lady stranded on the freeway, or hurry home to watch football? How we answer depends on an ethical order that we produce about the choices we make.”
--- Ronald Brooks. “Come, Let Us Reason.”
