In Matthew liao’s paper, Parental love Pills: Some Ethical Considerations, he claims that the usage of pharmacologically-induced parental love can be morally unproblematic. In section one I will describe Matthew Liao’s claim and perspective. In section two I will present my objection to his claim and view. In section three I will provide a counter to my objection and argue against it. 1a: An ambiguity The claim that the usage of pharmacologically-induced parental love can be morally…

I Legal procedure and moral-practical discourse 1 Habermas versus Weber on legitimacy and the moral dimension of law In any legal theory the relation between law and morality is problematic. Reflecting on this link is relevant to the issue of the legitimacy of law. The ’classical’ and still predominant view on the legitimacy of law is that of Weber (1956). His concept of formal rationality of law presupposes a strict separation of law from morality. According to Weber, law derives its…

bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance, we ought, morally to do it (Singer 231).”, and “…We ought to give the money (extra money that isn’t being used for basic necessities like food, shelter, and medical care) away, and it is wrong to not do so (Singer 235).” Within his argument, Singer says that we should help people if we don’t have to sacrifice anything of comparable moral significance. In my opinion, this assumption is flawed because not…

The validity of their moral judgments now lies in the hands of potentially vindicating empirical research. Considering the nature of the topic, encountering such empirical evidence is merely a possibility. But for the debunker, this leads to mere uncertainty about evolutionary influences possibly shaping our moral judgments. Making the claim that our beliefs may be true only by mere coincidence is a strong statement…

hand and massacre everyone and anyone who he thinks is standing in the way of his happiness and get what his heart desires. Similarly, sex is not something for which anything and everything becomes legal. C.S Lewis believes that fornication is not a moral ground for happiness and that people took it the wrong way when the right to happiness was mentioned in form of a legal document. He writes, “It is quiet certain what they did not mean. They did not mean that man was entitled to pursue…

"Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the…

one’s appearance can have about an individual’s moral standpoint of being a good or bad person as ultimately, there is no definite answer as they coexist in each person regardless of appearance. Throughout the three pieces, I depicted one generic human figure that did not feature any human characteristics. This enabled the triptych to appeal to a diverse group of viewers. Each piece contains an element or symbolism to help identify it as one of the moral standpoints of “good” or “bad”. The…

question that is directed towards religious people and beliefs, that asks where is the source of morality? Is something moral because God commands it or does God commands something moral because it is good? I believe what is morally good is for a fact of God commands it to be so; anything may be considered moral, but we as humans don’t have the power to decide whether something is moral or not. Thus giving sovereignty and acknowledgement of his divine command which is the foundation of morality.…

Arthurs has a unique stance on world hunger and moral obligation and the way that we should handle these issues. He opens up his argument by analyzing one of Pete Singers rules “If it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance, we ought, morally, to do it. “(666) Arthur believes that rule of life is a flawed one. He counters this statement by giving a scenario using Singers moral rule. Arthur states “All of us…

There is no doubt that in every office or social setting there are certain groups that stick together and have developed a certain loyalty to each other, even when the behavior of the group is seen as immoral or unethical. Does this constitute a moral right to speak up and break that trust? People should address situations within their group where others act in immoral ways regardless of the outcome. It is morally right to call out immorality; to stand silent is like agreeing with the…
