Which branches from Kantian Ethics?

Would love to see you address the trolley problem and determine what makes people switch from utilitarian approach to a kantian ethics.

For those readers who never took Philosophy, here's a TL;DR Consequentialism: an act is good if it could be expected to have a good outcome. "Good" being your preferred ultimate end, often utility, but equality or souls saved are possibilities. Deontology: an act is good if it is in accordance wit...

Dendrochronology for sure

These are like religions. While religions are effective in bringing attention to some important choices in specific situations, they are also dangerous. That is because they present those choices as universal, and by that make them rules. The only things that I was not able to deny as universal yet ...

You’re going the long , long route, imho. “In Search of the Miraculous: Fragments of an Unknown Teaching” P. D. Ouspensky, is a worthy start. If it isn’t your life path, I’ll buy it back from you.

Virtue ethics

We covered Deontology, Consequentialism and Virtue Ethics in my managerial ethics & business environment class last month. Recently and very reluctantly so :) sat down with a cup of coffee in hand, to listen to my audio feedback for assessment from uni on this very topic. I did ok and passed👍, al...

Virtue ethics I’d choose

I'd take Pragmatic Ethics over the three options you provided.

Ethics is like tradition. It is peer pressure from dead people.

The Idea of studing ethics in philosophy is ridiculous to me. We live either in a religious world or in a world of atoms banging into each other. Therefore, its either religion or moral psychology.

All sounds exactly like they are made up fiat words going up their own fields of study to self reference themselves

what, lol?

At work: deontology At life (sometimes): consequentialism But I prefer: Virtue Ethics

Had to research a bit, not sure understood them correctly to the bits of it. But a mixture of deontology and virtue signaling, like today. There needs be a set of rules, for example so people will not cross red lights and get punished only when they cause a car accident, this seems a bit foolish. ...

Virtue ethics. The rest hardliners only get extreme problems in the end.

I had to look them up, but Consequentialism. The others seem subjective. Whereas, consequentialism is looking at results.

My wife has drug me down the stoic rabbit hole, so I have to vote for virtue ethics…

Ive been thinking about and reading/listening to a number of anarchist perspectives recently, especially perspectives on mutual aid and collective freedom. It was a fun exercise chatting to GPT about anarchist criticisms and sympathies to the three options you offered. Going back to my university ...

I Kant help you there

Not heard of these, had to check the meaning of Deontology and presume the others follow the meaning of their names. Await further details in the long form. Follow Ayn Rands Objectivist philosophy. Virtues as so far determined: - Rationality - Independence - Integrity - Honesty - Justice - Prod...

I took, and failed, Ethics in college. I just can't accept that there is a "one size fits all" ruleset in any scenario.

Deontology. Kant deny its superiority. 😆

My preference, Virtue Ethics with a strong thread of Deontology. FYI. I had to ask ChatGPT for definitions. Deontology, consequentialism, and virtue ethics are three prominent normative ethical theories that propose different criteria for what makes actions morally right or wrong: 1. **Deontology...

Christianity

def what, lol ;) waiting for longer read :)

Virtue ethics

I’m all about self accountability, not sure where that actually fits. A little off topic, I wanted to thank you for the reference to the Stormlight Archive, just started book 1, perfect for Maine winters.

I need more ammo

Natural law ethics

Deontology

Deontology (Kant) “closes the door to reason“ according to Ayn Rand. Consequentialism suffers the problem of being self effacing. And virtue ethics doesn’t deal well with situationist problems. But being a bitcoiner I see where you could be going with this so I’ll take the rules based appro...

what? how about don't do to others what you do not want to be done to you.

Really all of these ideas do not capture the entire picture as they are just ideas from different people in history. The reality is DO NO HARM to other Living Sentient Beings. Meaning, the initiated stealing of an innocent, living, sentient being’s property will trigger Natural Law (A Law buil...

All three! I'm flexible! Case by case basis subsumed in experience based reflex

Consequentialism.

Consequentialist, Jeremy Bentham allowed me to bring an understanding to the morality I felt but couldn't articulate. While understanding my humble animal brains ability to think on the fly.

Deontology, obviously. Consequentialism and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

Reject the premise. Ethics evolved through natural & group selection which suggests they are consequentialist at root. Society is a complex system in a complex environment, so consequentialism is impossible to enact in practice. Deontologic rules developed to codify best practices; bit those best ...
