On the other hand, I believe that at some point you will see that the project of reasoning from observable evidence to a moral conclusion is hopeless. This was the grand project of "enlightenment" philosophy, a project which ended in complete and utter failure.

Since the product of that effort, among other things, was the American Revolution, and the most noble society every seen on earth, at least for the first 150 years of this country, it was hardly an utter failure.

Please note that I said the project of reasoning from observable evidence to a moral conclusion ended in complete and utter failure. If you wish to intelligently dispute this claim, you must address the claim.

I sincerely do look forward to your attempt to spell out reasoning from observable evidence to the conclusion that theft is wrong.
