If different cultures
around the world had different pictures of the earth, we probably
would say that in some sense most of them are wrong.
We would bring out satellite photographs and say "here's the
proof."
Geography is a case in which a certain kind of proof applies. We
have tested the accuracy of photographs thousands of times and they
have repeatedly been shown to be correct. In other words, we know what
'proof' and 'accuracy' mean here and we have well-tested methods for
achieving them. I'm not sure we are in the same position with respect
to ethics. What is the 'proof' that polygamy is morally good or bad?
More philosophically put, "What could count as proof
here?"
