00:00Let me tell you about a voice, not this voice, but the one inside, the one that whispers,
00:14and if Aristotle, Locke, Kant, and Mill haven't solved these questions after all of these years,
00:21who are we to think that we can resolve them? And so maybe it's just a matter of each person
00:27having his or her own principles, and there's nothing more to be said about it, no way of
00:33reasoning. That's the evasion, the evasion of skepticism, to which I would offer the following
00:39reply. It's true, these questions have been debated for a very long time, but the very fact that they
00:47have recurred and persisted may suggest that, though they're impossible in one sense, they're
00:54unavoidable in another. And the reason they're unavoidable, the reason they're inescapable,
00:59is that we live some answer to these questions every day. So skepticism, just throwing up your
01:05hands and giving up on moral reflection, is no solution. Everybody has one. Few. Listen to it.
