Abstract

Drawing on a formal model of reflexive consciousness, the author examines the causative relationship between logic, morality and conscious agency, which renders morality ‘realist’ in the sense that our actions have inescapable consequences for our capacities as agent. In addition to formulating an analytical framework for rationally solving complex moral dilemmas, the author defends the claim that the structure of sense, internalised as the logical consistency of Self-ideation with respect to other beings of the same kind, determines not only the moral integrity of our conduct but the ontological integrity of the Self, and that objective morality is not an impediment to conscious agency but its optimal realisation; the essence of creative power over meaning, which is the ultimate self-interest.
