In The Illustrated Man, two stories that represent the theme of an optimistic vision of the future are "The Man" and "The Rocket."
In "The Man," the vision of the future is optimistic because, for one, the Earth has not been (or is not about to be destroyed). Technology has not destroyed humanity. Instead, evidence of Jesus has been found on other planets. Those who have encountered him (or who have found evidence of him) live in bliss and and are contented.
In "The Rocket," the vision of the future is optimistic because, as in "The Man," the Earth has not been (or is not about to be destroyed). Technology has not destroyed humanity. Instead, it is possible to go into outer space. When Bodoni cannot decide which of his family will go, he instead installs a virtual-reality theater so that his family can remain together and enjoy space virtually.
In both of these stories, technology is not presented as a destructive force. Humanity has not been destroyed. Therefore, these stories are optimistic.
Answer:
Westermarck was telling us that there are no absolute standards in morality and that moral truth is relative. The reason for his approach is that each person has a moral conscience that is unique. One cannot apply a standard theory of philosophical thought to each person, because each person’s morality is predicated upon the way he or she was brought up. Virtue Ethics deals with a person’s character, and the formation of that character has its beginnings at an early age by what that person was taught. Westermarck and Aristotle have similar thought processes involving an individual. Aristotle believed that moral virtue is product of habit learned from an early age. Westermarck thought that moral views were based upon subjective factors. Subjective habits are learned from parents, teachers, and life experiences unique to an individual. A consciousness of morality is derived from those teachings and experiences learned in youth. These moral thoughts were a product of reflection of what had been taught overtime, and which would become rational expressions of individual morality as an adult. Is it not true that the virtue of person is based upon what his or her moral conscience consists of? The psychological effects of these teachings and experiences gleamed in youth cannot be discarded as mere sophomoric intrusions of moral liabilities against the standards of morality, but must be considered an integral component for the search of moral truth. Westermarck’s theory is just as valid as any other moral theory.
