Maxim

Contemporary Jurisprudence: Make Up Assignment for Seminar 2 My group presented the text of Dworkin: Dworkin tries to find a middle ground between Hart and Fullers’ theories, building his jurisprudence on an attack of Hart’s claim that the law consists only of rules. Like Fuller, Dworkin thinks that the law is inherently interpretative. Dworkin contends that in reality the materials available to judges are wider than only rules, and that in practice judges use principles and background…

themselves for the purpose of a profit-seeking CEO’s to sell more magazines; which is purely and selfishly driven. In defiance to the Kantian theory of morality which proposes that, “I ought never to act in such a way that I couldn’t also will that the maxim on which I act should be a universal law,” (Kant, I., 2008). One in which such intentions of actions be so that it would be moral and just and that everyone should follow suit, creating the notion of…

During the summer of 1789, people around the world witnessed one of the most radical, and bloodiest revolution that would reinvent the ways of thinking and reasoning in the world. In the midst of chaos, one of the most controversial men in history rose through the military ranks and became the Emperor of France. His name was Napoleon Bonaparte. Historians have mixed opinions about Napoleon. Some say he upheld the values and goals of the French Revolution, some say he undermined them. During his…

Utilitarianism and deontological theory have their similarities and differences in the philosophical world. The greatest happiness principle, used by utilitarianism, is that an act is right as far as it tends to produce the greatest happiness for the greatest amount of people. Happiness is equal to the pleasure and the absence of pain. Bentham’s idea of pleasure falls under three points; intensity (how strong), duration (how long lasting), and the propinquity (how soon). Later Mill’s added to…

student on campus had the right to be heard in regards to their disapproval of Condoleezza Rice’s visit, the minority and the ability to express their views must too be protected.

According to Lord’s Ackner in the…

principle, which states, “Act only in accordance with that maxim through which you can at the same time will that it become a universal law.” Kant has found a way to evaluate moral action through reason alone sometimes known as the “universalization test.” If the subject moral activity were to be applied to everyone, would an absurd or incoherent outcome occur? If yes, the action is immoral. Placing Hershey’s use of trafficked labor into the maxim and universalizing that behavior would create a…

What is life? Life is full of obstacles they are small, sometimes they aren’t. I don’t know there is a point to it, but who knows? Another thing I know, everybody dies at the end, so why people wont live it to the maxim instead of just sitting in their bums and doing nothing, being alive to be is to experience new adventures and to have fun. Life is worth living for as long as you can. As lance Armstrong said, “ I want to die at a hundred years old with an American flag on my back on the star…
