Abstract
What is morality? This question seems as if it could be answered by any intelligent person until one actually tries to answer it. Then a funny thing happens. If one starts by saying “Morality is ... “ nothing one says afterward seems to be quite right. Of course one can say clever things like “Morality is simply the expression of the demands of the superego.” But this kind of clever remark does not explain what morality is. The superego makes many demands that are not moral demands. Which of its demands are the moral ones? Simply asking this question makes clear that morality cannot be equated with the demands of the superego. And so it goes with any answer that one initially proposes.
