The Amorals.
The first question that arises is, who am I to judge another person or even to judge myself? By what rules? The morality of the different religions? The morality of the State? Mine? The morality of others? And in this last question is fundamental, each one can have a different vision of what is right or wrong, that is, there can be different types of morality as many people exist. To be amoral does not mean not to follow any rule, it means to accept at least that there are rules and that they must exist for us to live in society, as for example the morality of the States. In the existential sense of being we are always judging, it can be prices, people and a long etcetera. To understand the beginning of the rules and consequently its morality because it is nothing more than what is right or wrong, we would have to go to remote times for example the appearance of the Code of Ur-Nammu where the King established rules and their respective consequences and so that no one can discuss his rules the King said that they came from the Gods. So the first written laws came from a King and his morality so that his subjects or those who lived in his kingdom would know that their acts and consequences could be judged, in other words, a kind of social control if you will by the king to maintain some order. Do you realize this? So being amoral means knowing and abiding by the rules, even if you don’t share them. A world without any Institution, gods or rules is impossible since even anarchism has rules. To be amoral is not to omit any value judgment to anything, the philosophy of the amoral is knowing that there are different rules, according to each place in the world, you must comply with them and not omit value judgments consequently when some amoral infringes any law must be submitted to justice and accept any kind of condemnation. The amoral being knows that laws are a social contract so that basically the world is not a chaos which leads me to the question Is the world terribly unfair, more or less in different places, is it a moral thing to accept all this? The amoral can simply ask this question, but not answer it.
