Please be cautious in using the transcripts.

They were created mechanically and have mostly not been checked or revised.

Here is how they were created:

  1. live lecture recorded;
  2. machine transcription of live recording;
  3. ask LLM to clean up transcript, and link to individual slides.

This is an error-prone process.

Why are moral judgements sometimes, but not always, a consequence of reasoning from known principles?

intution ≠ judgement

An intuition is a claim that you accept independently of any inferential justification for it.
A judgement is just a claim that you accept. (So intuitions are judgements but not conversely.)

How, if at all, does a person’s reasoning influence their moral judgements?

‘moral reasoning is [...] usually engaged in after a moral judgment is made, in which a person searches for arguments that will support an already-made judgment’ (Haidt & Bjorklund, 2008, p. 189).

‘If we ask people why they hold a particular moral view [their] reasons are often superficial and post hoc. [...] basic values are implemented in our psychology in a way that puts them outside certain practices of justification’ (Prinz, 2007, p. 32).

emotion

-> judgement

-> reasoning

nb: the judgement is initially an intuition but may lose that status after reasoning has occurred (depending on whether your accepting the claim is now dependent on your having inferential justification for it).
