Mill's Utilitarianism: Sacrifice the innocent for the common good? When faced with a moral dilemma, utilitarianism identifies the appropriate considerations, but offers no realistic way to gather the necessary information to make the required calculations. This lack of information is a problem both in evaluating the welfare issues and in evaluating the consequentialist issues which utilitar...

Morality; The Pre-existing and Universal Code Morality: A doctrine or system of moral conduct; particular moral principles or rule of conduct.

Philosophy essays / Nietzsche As Author
Friedrich Nietzsche's career as a philosopher and writer is nothing short of monumental.

You do not have to be a true objectivist Objectivism holds that society functions best when individuals pursue their self-interests.

When people are within the religion, they are already part of a community of others sharing their beliefs and including each other in their rituals.

Philosophy essays / The Morality Of Abortion

The majority of authors reviewed in this course attempt to either describe an ideal state or to advise the reader on matters of ruling. This provides for interesting reading and speculation and may be helpful for politicians, but not for the majority of people. Most of us will likely never hold any political office.

Philosophy essays / The Two Faces Of Meursault
The Two Faces of Meursault At the climax of The Stranger, Meursault dies for his killing of an Arab. Often have we considered this an act of absurdity; he could have made some plea for mercy, could have attempted to explain himself to the court. But Meursault did none of these things, thus affirming the fact that his actions were indeed absurd. Just as the text contains so many dualities of...
