Ethical Theoretical Analysis

Decent Essays

Hello Kathryn, You briefly mention higher power or inner conscience, but not specifically the ethical theories related to them. For instance, the theological argument believes in an intelligent designer. If that’s the case, how does that play into how people act? Or if we need to follow duty to be moral without the need of a higher power, how does that effect a person’s behavior? For example, Immanuel Kant held to a deontological view of the world and he mentions that a person might try to do something harmful or selfish, but it could result in good and vice versa. He says he only thing that is truly good in itself is a good will, and a good will is only good when the willer chooses to do something because it is that person's duty.
