Context
Context
Ethics is about doing what is right. Traditional normative theories express this goal in one of three ways:
. Virtue Ethics
6. Seek personal excellence by cultivating virtuous habits.
6. Aristotle: Achieve self-sufficiency through moderation.
. Deontological Ethics
7. Do your duty by following the rules.
7. Kant: Act as any rational agent is bound by universal law.
. Consequentialist Ethics
8. Try to make the world a better place by producing good outcomes.
8. Mill: Generate more pleasure and less pain for everyone.
Applying ethical theories to everyday life is not easy, as we consider virtues, duties, and results:
. Virtue Ethics
9. Strengths: Respect for people, moral education, continuing progress.
9. Problems: No direct advice for specific situations, excuse for self-serving.
. Deontological Ethics
10. Strengths: Simple application of rules, avoid personal responsibility.
10. Problems: Rigidly strict, conflicting rules, sometimes bad consequences.
. Consequentialist Ethics
11. Strengths: Flexibility in circumstances, outcomes publicly discernible.
11. Problems: Hard to predict results accurately, especially over the long run.
Using all three is fine, but we need to think through how they cohere or diverge.
