Lecture 8


This lecture emphasized on ethics, which is a really vague but important word. So how do we know what is ethical? The answer is ethical theories.


Ethical theories include deontology, consequentialism and virtue.


Deontology is rules, principle and duties. You follow the roles and then every step is right. Consequentialism focus on the end, so no matter what your process is. The end may justify the means and it’s getting a “good” or “right” outcome that matters. Virtue ethics is goodness which comes from good habits of character, for instance, courage, justice, temperance and prudence.

COURAGE is the mean between RASHNESS and COWARDICE.
JUSTICE is the mean between the IN-JUSTICE of overzealous and the excessive law and the INJUSTICE of LAWLESSNESS.
