- In the excerpt from the Republic the example of
the ring of Gyges is used to claim that humans
only act morally because of fear that they will
be caught. Present an example of someone being
morally good out of fear and then present an
example of someone being morally good out of an
inherent desire to act in a specific way.
Discuss with others the idea that morality is
inherent and based on universal principles or
virtues versus the idea that ethics is socially
created and varies based on human social and
political context. Which do you find to be more
convincing? Which philosophical reasons would
you present for thinking that your position is
the best position?

condones slavery. Yet today in America most
people think that slavery is absolutely morally
wrong. Polygamy has been practiced world-wide
since the earliest days and is still practiced in
parts of the world even today. Some major
religions require polygamy. There are many holy
men in the Bible who had multiple wives and
concubines.

animals. Can you think of a good moral reason why
our moral consideration should include all
humans, even those without the ability to reason,

-
- Think of someone real or fictional whom some
people regard as a hero for helping others,
stopping something bad or evil, and so forth,
even though by doing so they violated what would
normally be considered a moral rule (focus on
morality don't simply think of someone who broke
the law). For example, they may have lied, broken
a promise, stolen, harmed someone innocent, or
even murdered, but done so with good intentions.
(Note this last part is crucial make sure you
explain what it was that they did that would
otherwise be morally questionable. Also, it need
not be someone you think is a hero.)

- PHI 208 Week 3 Discussion (Kant Right Action)
-
- For more course tutorials visit
- www.newtonhelp.com
-
- Kant famously states that the only thing good
without qualification is a good will. On this
basis, he holds that we can do the right action
but not out of a good will, and that only actions
done from a good will are morally praiseworthy.
Do you agree with Kant? Provide an example (real
or made up) of someone doing a good thing but out
of a motive other than that of a good will, and
give reasons for why you think Kant is right, or
why you think Kant is wrong that this action
lacks moral value. Discuss the importance of the
will and how one can attempt to create a good
will. If you do not think a good will is
important discuss your reasons for believing that
the will is not important in ethical action.

- One of Kants formulations of the Categorical
Imperative says that one should always treat
humanity, whether in oneself or in another,
always as an end and never merely as a means.
Briefly explain what that means. Consider a
specific example from the world of business,
either one that you have directly encountered or
one you heard or read about, in which a company
honored this principle, and consider another
example in which a company failed to honor this
principle.

- Is it ever morally permissible to lie to someone?
Describe a circumstance in which it seems that
lying might make more people happy than telling
the truth. Would lying be the right thing to do
in that circumstance, or is it our moral duty to
tell the truth, even then? Consider what
Immanuel Kant would say, and explain that with
reference to this weeks readings. Then, offer
your own perspective. If you agree with Kant,
consider and respond to an objection to his view.

-
- Aristotle says that the virtues are necessary for
humans to attain happiness, but he means this in
terms of something we might call flourishing or
living well, which he considers quite different
than simply feeling good. Thus, according to
Aristotle some people might feel that they are
happy, but because they lack the virtues they are
not truly flourishing.

- Is it possible for individuals to flourish if
others with whom they are connected are not also
flourishing? Consider this with respect to
Aristotles account of eudaimonia, as well as the
other readings and media. Identify a community
or practice in which you are involved in which
the flourishing of the individual is tied to the
flourishing of others. Does this require that we
limit certain rights pertaining to the individual
(for instance, the right to free speech or to
pursue monetary gain), in order to promote the
flourishing of the group within that context?

ethics) -

- An important aspect of Aristotles virtue ethics
is the idea that virtues are habits that we
acquire over time, and like any habit, virtues
affect not just what we do, but our desires and
emotions as well. Focusing on either Hills
article or Robinsons article, how might this be
important when discussing environmental ethics or
military ethics (focus your discussion on just
one of those, but feel free to discuss the other

important to living a flourishing or successful
life in either Aristotles sense? Explain what
goods in human life these virtues enable their
possessor to fulfill. Provide examples of
characteristic behavior that manifests these
virtues, and contrast that with behavior that
displays a lack of virtue. Do your examples
confirm Aristotles view that a virtue is a mean
between extremes of excess and defect? If so,
explain what those extremes are if not, explain
why. Refer to this weeks readings and media to
