@hannahp36939968 Perhaps we can change traditional actions, ethical/cultural/moral beliefs and focus more the perfect. The ideology of what perfection could be #ewp22

[Nick Florin @nickflorin2]

After talking about forms in the last ethics class, I believe that every individual has their own universal idea of what is really real, and what is really not real. (Religion/good/bad/evil) etc #ewp22

[Nick Florin @nickflorin2]

Would one ever escape the “cave” even if their religion/morality depends on not putting yourself first, following the rules of a certain religion? Would putting yourself first, acquiring true knowledge be looked down upon as a sin? If so how would someone ever escape? #ewp22

Do modern ethics describe you and your values? Succeeding in market life relationships? Do the things you value have any relation to the the people you have relationships with? What justifies these questions are only answered by fully formed moral agents? #ewp22

[Nick Florin @nickflorin2]

Modern ethics is a product of history. The focus on the right is deiced from the legislative conception of morality. If there are rights and wrongs there is a right and wrong maker. Who and where does the moral law come from? If there is one…#ewp22

I thought it was very interesting learning about Greek Logos. Which is seen as the concept of Greek thinking. Accounting of a form of reason (logic). As well as to the Greek, If you don’t have logos you are a barbarian! #ewp22

Humans are capable of quantitatively more pleasures than pigs #ewp22

[Nick Florin @nickflorin2]

I believe we value something that deals with the authentic of pleasure, being the true experience. If the utilitarian theory of value is correct, then any component of our life does not contribute to our pleasure and does not have value #ewp22

When reflecting on Nozicks experience machine. I don’t think I would want to get into the box. I feel life is supposed to make you feel both the highs and lows without any psychological altercation #ewp22

@emiliabedelia0 @StuparichKayla But does social class one is born into play any role into what they say, actions and decision they make, or believes they have morally or religious? I feel people born into certain classes are more vulnerable to think or act in this type of way #ewp22

[Nick Florin @nickflorin2]

I have recently been thinking about Egalitarianism. Equality is a fundamental moral principle, everyone’s pain and please matter, and matter equally. But what if one’s moral perception of inflecting pain is pleasurable. Criminals/psychopaths/serial killers for example #ewp22

[Nick Florin @nickflorin2]

Regarding morality and moral truths: I strongly agree with Utilitarians, Lying is permissible when, lying produces more pleasure than pain. But not impermissible when it produces more pain the pleasure #ewp22

[Nick Florin @nickflorin2]

When reflecting on the Predominant Ancient approach, I find it intriguing that it does not matter what a man believes so long as if he acts decently is to what we interpret to be nonsense #ewp22

[Nick Florin @nickflorin2]

I feel divine command theory is based upon individual morality within a desired religion. However, people may have different opinions on what they belief is right and wrong within their own religious practice #ewp22

[Nick Florin @nickflorin2]

@hannahp36939968 When discussing this I think of the class discussion of the dogs. However when hunting, fishing, or animal testing. I feel it’s optimal when considering health and well being for society as a whole. Providing us risk from disease as well as nutrition/food. #ewp22

[Nick Florin @nickflorin2]

@jamesmiele2022 I feel everyone has their own vision of what social behavior is considered normal or moral. Or more than less ethical. Based on individual situations throughout one’s life, I feel would best help in defying why and what someone decided a to believe in #ewp22

[Nick Florin @nickflorin2]

@rachel_faden But what is considered unethical in scientific jobs? And to what extent do ethics play amongst different scientific occupations? #ewp22

[Nick Florin @nickflorin2]

@Kellaw69 @isabellad97004 Intriguing to hear the evolutionary aspect of dogs to humans. And I think this a topic that is not talked about much within the social world. Yet also intercepts ones moral perception of animals #ewp22

[Nick Florin @nickflorin2]

I’m terms of killing the neighbors dogs. I believe every person will have a past experience motivating their decision. Morally I feel there is no right answer and yet again, will differ person to person. And how much you enjoy loud annoying dogs #ewp22

[Nick Florin @nickflorin2]

I believe the quote about men smashing laws is what creates the better for future generations to follow. And is necessary for a sustainable present environment. Furthermore creating a stronger independent society. #ewp22
