Would you consider the possiblility that sympathy and empathy (punishment is a whole different motivating factor which focuses on the external) for other beings could evolve into a code of conduct which could almost be considered a form of morality? Obviously, it isn’t a hard and fast rule which fits all people at all times.
You’re using a lot of vague language there. Probably deliberately.
No kidding. I don’t speak accidentally. Do you?
However, there is nothing vague about the question. I will rephrase.
Can human sympathy form a basis for morality?
