choose only one hy are most of ua so certain we wust do both things " he asked He said most children are brought “P to believe they should have “gntive reactions when they have to break a promise or lie to solve a moral conflict Parents think they are teaching brtween right and wrong" he said But they don't have my support" Society thinks if chldren are “fought up well they never will have break a promise or tell a small lie to tolva a moral conflict He said sometimes it ia necessary to break a promise or tell a small Ua to solve a moral conflict ‘They shouldn't feel nmom if tobat they have to do” ha sod Hare said it is posaible that the way the children were brought up was not the best way He also said it is possible that the remorse was caused by past experiences Hare said this shouldn't cause remorse because the two situations are probably not similar As a philow pher Hare said moral conflicts are best solved when critical thinking ia used to select the best use of intuition to solve the problem "Critical thinking and intuition are not rivals" he said "hut are elements in a common structure with their own part to play" "How much we use of each one depends on our character" he said "There is no moral answer to that part" "We have to know ourselves to know how much we can trust ourselves (to use either intuition or critical thinking)” he said Hare said it is a tragic situation when only morals influence the decision Hare called people who use only intuition "unususlly stupid" He said these people usually learn their intution through education or by imitating other people He called people who use only critical thinking "Arch Angela" but said these people do not exist Convocations Seriea will resume in the Fine Art Center Speaking will lie Geraldo
