I believe that rule utilitarianism is better than kantianism because it is reasonable to assume consequences and humans are too complex to strictly follow the categorical imperative. Although utilitarianism could use some work, the basic principles of the theory are much more practical to apply to the real world compared to kantianism. Utilitarianism and kantianism are both normative moral theories as they are methods of decision-making rules that apply principles for the right and wrong of…

There are obvious truths in life like; the sky is blue, you shouldn’t eat rotten eggs, and if you stop breathing you die. A relativist would find a way to argue that these undeniable truths are not necessarily true, rather they are simply opinions. This is the main difference between a philosopher and a relativist. A philosopher is after the absolute truth, and they don’t let anything get in the way of finding it; while a relativist is concerned with not offending anyone, and letting them…

But when taken as one’s sole worldview, Epicureanism determines the best life for man. The central belief of Epicureanism…

People only have one perspective and that is their own. They cannot see the world through another person’s eyes. Due to this, it is hard to imagine being in someone else’s shoes. People only have the front row view of their own life, so it is not hard to believe that people care more about themselves and their situations than that of other people. In “This is Water” by David Foster Wallace and The Three Questions by Leo Tolstoy, both address awareness and the importance of it. Although human…

Sigmund Freud illustrates the nature of the human psyche through the idolized tool of religion. Although Freud’s view towards religion appears to be overwhelmingly negative, slight positive benefits of religion can be seen through his explanations of religious symbolism.

Duty likewise implies conferring ourselves – to lead, to make, to take care of issues—and afterward finishing. It includes going out on a limb and buckling down.
