Ethics that erase human separation are invalid because that separation is real.

Evidence

And it can be said, by inverting the preceding line of argument, that the ethics which have given solutions by effacing the fact of the separation of men are not valid precisely because there is this separation. An ethics of ambiguity will be one which will refuse to deny a priori that separate existants can, at the same time, be bound to each other, that their individual freedoms can forge laws valid for all. — Simone de Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity, 12
