However, they are only to make laws as if these laws are universal and good for society as a whole. Society is to act only on the universality of the morality, that they must “treat people as ends and not mere means” (McCloskey p391). While each rational…

We all know that we live in a world, where opportunities are never given, but instead they are taken. The bucs have been on the wrong end of success this season. A team that was once labeled the dark horse of the NFC, Quickly became the laughing stock of the NFL. At least the browns are expected to be losers. The 49ers were expected to have setbacks. The buccaneers had expectations as well, they were expected to turn heads, not have them turn away. At a dismal record of 2-6, our starting…

This group provides qualities of pleasure such as intensity, duration, certainty, and propinquity of pleasure. These qualities translate to how hard, how long, how reasonable, and how soon. Within ethical decision making these…
ethics are guided from the philosophical concept that is the Categorical Imperative, a wholly binding rule of morality that is justified as an end in itself. In the spelunker case, Kant would ultimately have the choice of killing the large man to save himself and the life of others, or have all of them perish. The fact that the former is the only option which ends with life does not matter to Kant. This choice would be quite an easy decision for him to make. Kant believes murder of the innocent…
