In considering "animal rights" or environmentalism (as
with,
say, the abolition of slavery not so long ago) one is
confronted
with the problem of the logic, which leads to
extremely
inconvenient conclusions in practical life. On
discovering
this, most people will abandon the logic, or at least
blur
it. The fanatics who persist shall be convicted of
_excessive_
or _premature_ morality, plus other defects (see
above).
It is a difficult problem to know when one is being _too_ logical, _too_ moral. No doubt there is a higher metamoral realm somewhere in which these things become clear.<<
