The concept and the form of the moral action

In the experience of the moral action we can find such obviousness, which could give us a way to find the ethics. Moral actions are the conscious or reasonable actions caused by moral considerations or by idea of the moral due. Examples of moral actions are the friendly action, the forgiveness, the loyalty and the justice. Description of friendly act contains important difficulty: a friendly act can't take place or for the sake of some external purposes or in order to seem friendly. And the is not so much that it is not defined in any state of things (rational or social definition), but the fact that it generally difficult to describe as a reasonable, sequential action: the presence of intention makes a friendly act as such makes it impossible. Therefore, to understand as possible friendly act as a conscious or sequential action, we have to assume such motives, or a position that would not be reduced to the status quo, or to an value morality as such. Similarly, can be described the experience of forgiveness. As well as a friendly act, forgiveness contains rational contradiction: "forgiveness can only be unforgivable". Indeed, if in the act of forgiveness we dealt with what should (or allowed) to forgive, it would have abolished the very need of forgiveness as some special act, special actions. Forgiveness (as well as a friendly act) is inexplicable in terms of "reality" - the real situation and the actual social relations. It is explicable only if it involves an uncertain future, or if it admits that future surpasses any opportunities to present themselves or to present the relationship with the abuser. Thus, the analysis of the experience of acts done for moral reasons, shows us that the ethical experience is essentially an experience of openness to the future or to the possibility of being. Description of the real ethical experience it requires the identification of rational contradictions: moral actions violate current order relations, they have no reason in the order of things, but also have no reason in the independent value of morality as such. We recognize as moral such act as gives an opportunity to make the future or being realized.
