The purpose of truth

 Can science ever determine what is morally right?

You may predict your own behavior but predicting the behavior of people on a sociological level takes group theory and scientific appraoch in hypothesis or to that effect.

No, not real science, the scientific method is a process of hypothesis, testing, measurement, and repeating till you come to a conclusion. 

Morality has nothing to do w this.

Scott Winn I'm not so sure.  We can trace observational hypotheses through understanding how people behave.  I am not an expert in it but psychologically there is contagion to be had which we see on an empirical level.  For example: if we see that ICE is - can take immigrants (a group of ethnic minority) and establish that it's morally corruptible. But, another group (MAGA/elitism = government agency) allows for it (whatvis wrong).   Such behavior becomes a model for it.


I could be mistaken...


This is debatable, however. (i.e. for the purpose of philosophy)
