J.S. Mills had numerous examples when he proclaimed‚ “liberty is often granted where it should withheld‚ as well as withheld where it should be granted” (Mills 103). Everybody deserves liberty as long as they do not harm other individuals in the process. People should have the ability to do in their own concerns‚ but people should not be free to exercise power over another individual. In chapter five in On Liberty‚ this obligation is almost utterly disregarded in the instance of family relations

Is Mackie’s argument from relativity compelling? Mackie’s ‘Ethics: Inventing right and wrong’ critically assesses the idea that there are‚ or even can be‚ objective moral truths‚ and exposits Mackie’s ‘moral relativist’ stance. I intend also in this essay to criticise the idea of moral objectivity‚ and to deal with the objections that could be potentially raised to a relativist stance. The most obvious task‚ it would seem‚ to begin with when assessing the idea of moral objectivity‚ is to come to

This article‚ written by J. Patout Burns‚ outlines the development of Augustine’s views on Evil‚ specifically in connection to God. To begin‚ the author gives a summary of Augustine’s original thoughts on God and evil‚ which followed the Manichean principles of binary or dualistic thinking. However‚ in exchanging ideas with philosopher Plotinus‚ Augustine’s views shifted to accept a different take on God with a more Platonic perspective. The author also outlines Augustine’s ideas in regard to material

Article 3 of “On Evil” argues that good cannot cause evil insofar that good is not deficient in any way. “Good insofar as it is deficient causes evil‚ it follows that good causes evil insofar as good already has within itself some evil.” (Aquinas 68) And Aquinas then places this into 2 separate categories. The first category‚ good insofar as it is deficient meaning that it is not intrinsically good and evil threatens its perfection and the second category is that good causes evil by accident. (Aquinas

In J.L. Mackie’s “Evil and Omnipotence‚” he argues against the existence of God. He uses the standpoint that God cannot be omnipotent‚ omnibenevolent‚ and evil can still exist. Omnipotent means all-powerful and that God is capable of anything. Omnibenevolent means all-good or that everything God does is good and no evil comes from him. However‚ evil exists in the world‚ where some believe in God. How is it possible for God to be all good and yet evil exist in the world? The imperative answer to

I will know defend the claim that evil is a degree of wrong‚ as well as how it isn’t qualitatively distinct. Eve Garrard argues that evil is the intent to create harm as well as how silence plays a role in this. However‚ philosopher Luke Russell‚ discusses how‚ “Garrard‚ refuses to modify her account by adding the condition that evil actions must be harmful” (). Russell later states that extreme harm doesn’t have to be a contributor of evil. In a sense‚ it has been there but it not always is. This
