One can pattern behavior on desires or specific needs and those can change predetermined moral concepts based on what is necessary for that moment.
In most societies laws and rules provide guidelines which can influence moral behavior or attitudes which are based on a common perception of what is moral or a normative value of moral behavior for the public good.
Ockham’s Razor is the perception that says when considering a circumstance or occurrence and all things are taken into account then the simplest explanation should hold or accepted.
Considering that moral concepts are often convoluted and subjective is it possible that an Ockham’s Razor approach can be applied to developing a common moral concept and approach?
Not withstanding “moral absolutism” or “moral universalism” can a precept for “Ockham’s Razor morality” be applied to all situations of moral incertitude or moral variability?
Also, not withstanding any mental impairment and the problems as those may produce, is it possible to consider that if a man always considers what is in his best interest that a Ockham’s Razor approach to morality can be achieved?
An explanation of cause is not a justification by reason.
