This would require his violating his conscience to some extent, but it would also allow him to save the family farm. This would require at least a partial fulfillment of his obligation to his family without violating his conscience. This would require a partial violation of both of the original moral demands, but also allow him to respect those demands in a modified form. If we knew more about the specifics of the situation, we might be able to think of additional compromises. But of course there are those who say that such moral compromises are wrong.
Moral demands are absolute and unqualified.
If this is true, then we must go back to our earlier considerations in order to determine which demand should receive priority. However it is important to keep in mind that most moral demands are not really unqualified. But we all know we cannot hold to this absolute, unqualified norm in all situations. When someone with a knife in his hand who is obviously deranged asks for the whereabouts of our friend, we would be justified in lying. On the other hand, actions that violate our conscience should not be undertaken lightly.
