Morality isn't free, or least it shouldn't be. The discussion of morality certainly isn't a new discussion (Adam Smith wrote about it is his well know work The Theory of Moral Sentiments in 1759). In his work he discussed the idea that what makes us moral is our ability to empathize with one another. The ability to identify with the feelings of plights of others, the theory states, makes us moral in terms of how we define right and wrong. Since we can understand how someone else might feel, this helps us to also feel what would be right or wrong in terms of how our behavior would impact those around us. We don't steal because this would be taking something from someone else and hurt their feelings and deny them the fruit of their labor. An article in Reason Magazine (Nov. 21, 2007) reports on neurological findings from brain imaging studies that indicate that indeed, people do react to the actions and situations to others in areas of the brain that are often associated with right and wrong and moral reasoning. The researchers suggest that this is evidence that we as humans experience a part of our morality as a result of our biology. The article goes on to state that the moral compass that we have is a part of our inborn wiring, much like the capacity for speech.
