Descartes is also responsible for this line of Hypothetical logic . He pointed out, when discussing how we know things that even though he thinks he sees a candle in front of him, it could be possible that there is a demon there tricking him into thinking that there is a candle, when there is really not. As a general rule, hypothetical situations are not easily given moral value solely because there is not enough information given. And, they all are stated in a way as to lean in one direction or another. Situational ethics are also as much to blame, but i would blame Decartes for situational ethics! Anyways, thats my two bits. Logic is skewed in this post-Christian era, and we, often, unfortunately, find ourselves a part of our culture without realizing it.
