Compares legal and illegal actions as sextus did in d to


Compares legal and illegal actions, as Sextus did in D, to show the impossibility of making moral judgments.

We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was "illegal." It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany. Even so, I am sure that, had I lived in Germany at the time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers. If today I lived in a Communist country where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I would openly advocate disobeying that country's antireligious laws.

In D, Sextus pairs but does not compare (weigh or assess reasons for) contrasting ethical practices.

In Section C of the World Values Survey, Sextus would mark #1 for all the practices (V198-V208).

Aristotle's principle of non-contradiction holds that given two contradictory statements, it is no possible to say that one is true and other false.

All value judgments are normative or ethical judgments.
