Wittgenstein’s Approach to Ethics Before attempting to articulate Wittgenstein’s views on ethics I believe we must first examine what he meant when he said ethics was a matter of which we could not sensibly speak. “Ethics‚ if it is anything‚ is supernatural and our words will only express facts” (A Lecture on Ethics 1965).

Situation Ethics is an agapeistic ethical theory; the Christian concept of unconditional love is the guiding principle of this theory. This theory was devised by Joseph Fletcher in the 1960s as a radical Christian ethic. It argues that agape is the only guiding principle in morality. This is taken from the golden rule in Christianity (love your neighbour as yourself). Agape is different from all other types of love like sexual love: it is unconditional. Situation Ethics rejects legalistic ethics

Have a little read: ... This essay discusses cognitive‚ sensory and language development connected with the theories of Piaget‚ Chomsky and Vygotsky. Children develop in different areas‚ cognitive development‚ sensory development and language development. All areas are different but interlinked. The interrelation of all three provides for all round healthy development. The best practice when working within the early years is striving to develop each area.

Stem cells are cells that are capable of generating specialized cells for specific areas of the human body. There are two different categories of stem cells. They are the adult or somatic stem cells and the embryonic stem cells. The embryonic stem cell is spawned when a recently fertilized egg divides‚ which is then capable of becoming any cell in the human body. The embryonic cells are vital because unlike the adult stem cells‚ embryonic cells have the ability to spawn every type of cell that

For any new stem cell research‚ the money must come from the private sector (Ruse‚ 11). This controversial decision is still a widely debated topic that is in the forefront of the current political

What are the Key features of Situation Ethics? Situation ethics is a Christian ethical theory that was principally developed in the 1960’s by a priest called Joseph Fletcher and expanded by Bishop John Robinson. It is a teleological theory‚ but in contrast to utilitarianism; it is based on Christian principles‚ and primarily the promotion of agape. The moral worth of any action is judged on its consequences‚ not on the action itself. The judgement is made on how much love is produced by the action
