Challenging conventional beliefs about morality, the author argues against the notion that there are limits to the sacrifices we should make for the greater good. Through a critical examination of common moral intuitions, the analysis questions the justification for certain actions being deemed morally forbidden, even in the pursuit of overall benefit. By dissecting the arguments for limited moral obligations and absolute prohibitions, the author presents a thought-provoking critique of fundamental aspects of everyday moral reasoning.
