    Nietzsche’s views run along similar lines. Not only morals do pervade life spheres‚ but‚ they derive their normative force values with which they are associated . However‚ this values are not the “ground zero” of morality: as Schacht puts is ’[…] for Nietzsche […] all normativity is ultimately of extra-moral origin. For Nietzsche that ultimate origin – the Ur-source of all normativity – is to be found in the basic disposition he takes to be operative in all that transpires in this world‚ which he

    The Chief Good In the Nicomachean Ethics‚ Aristotle states that everything a person does‚ whether it’s creating something‚ asking about something‚ deciding something‚ or doing an action‚ is done so in the pursuit of an end goal‚ or “to seek some good” (1094a2). For every action we take‚ there is a specific benefit‚ or good‚ that we hope to gain. For example‚ when you prepare food for yourself‚ you hope to satisfy your hunger or taste something good‚ and when you ask a question‚ you hope to receive

    According to Kant‚ the reasons behind an action is what gives moral worth to actions. This is also referred to as a maxim (Shafer-Landau‚ 2010‚ p. 147). As opposed to the utilitarian’s view‚ the morality of the action is not relevant if there is a good outcome‚ meaning what gives moral worth to an action are the consequences. There are some disadvantages and advantages to both Kant’s view and utilitarians’ views. Nonetheless‚ I think Kant’s views are preferable and more reasonable. One of the reasons

    2. I disagree with Kant’s using the transcendental ideas for there must also be material conditions. Eventually‚ the material conditions are as important as the ideas. When he talked about mind formulates the concept of self how about the body. The mind cannot exist without the body. The world does not contain only the events but also the material things. Therefore the mind must have the concept of both form and matter. Thus‚ I support Kant there are some transcendent ideas cannot be proven as they

    Determinism is defined as “the doctrine that all events‚ including human action‚ are ultimately determined by causes external to the will. ”‚ there have been many cases where philosophers determine that determinism implies that beings that have no free will‚ cannot be held morally responsible for their actions. David Hume’s definition of necessity is similar to the definition of determinism because it shows that what is necessity is constant or always necessary‚ plainly put his definition states

    In his paper‚ ’The Secret Joke of Kant’s Soul’‚ Greene argues that deontological moral theory is a post hoc rationalisation. That is‚ although deontological philosophy claims to base its judgements in reason‚ deontological judgements are instead typically emotionally driven judgements which are then rationalised after the fact. In this analysis I will briefly explain Greene’s argument‚ which is grounded in evolutionary theory‚ particularly evolutionary psychology‚ and backed up by empirical studies

    In Boethius’s work The Consolation of Philosophy‚ Boethius uses the character Lady Philosophy to present the argument that justice is always served in that “the good are always rewarded and the wicked always punished” (81). I support that the argument is sound and valid through evaluation‚ then I continue by extrapolating Boethius’s reasoning to understand that although the nature of true reward is singular‚ the nature of punishment is diverse. Boethius presents his claim on the nature of good‚

    Kant philosophy has contributed in development of "pure" moral philosophy‚ a "metaphysics of morals" that is based on the concepts of reason‚ not on empirical observations. According to his philosophy moral obligations are applicable to all human beings as it applies not only for particular person in particular situation‚ but also to all rational beings in all circumstances. The principle of humanity is not borrowed from experience as this is a universal principle and this applies to all rational
