In this construction, our obligation would be to negative morality. It is the kind of morality that we usually focus on in discussions of ethics and obligation. It is essentially a concern with Full security of human rights. I call it a “negative” morality because it is essentially a reduction of immorality. It certainly is not a bad type of morality!
While negative morality holds most of our attention, I suggest here that there is a positive morality as well. Anything that does not impact a being’s basic rights but still makes a non-trivial contribution to their quality of life falls under this idea of positive morality. This probably includes aesthetic considerations and issues of personal and interpersonal fulfillment.
