105. 20th WCP: Does Hume Have An Ethics Of Virtue? Some Observations On Character And Article by Marcia L. Homiak presented at the 20th World Congress of philosophy, which argues that Hume's ethics is best seen as a virtue ethics. http://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Mode/ModeHomi.htm

Modern Philosophy Does Hume Have an Ethics of Virtue? Some Observations on Character and Reasoning in Hume and Aristotle Marcia L. Homiak Occidental College homiak@oxy.edu ABSTRACT: I am interested in the general question of how to characterize Hume's ethics, in particular, in whether Hume can be seen to offer some version of a virtue ethics. Let me first explain what I take a virtue ethics to be. For a virtue ethics, the central question is: "What kind of person should I be?" rather than "What action ought I to perform?" A virtue ethics is agent-centered in the priority it gives to being a virtuous person (or to having a virtuous character) over doing the moral action. Yet this priority has proven difficult to articulate and defend, since it looks as though character traits can be specified in terms of principles defining the kinds of action in which traits are expressed. If so, a virtuous person is simply someone who acts in accordance with particular principles. Individual virtues, such as courage, then become derivative : they are secondary to the defining and governing principles of action, which are determined by practical reason.

The term "computer ethics" is open to interpretations both broad and narrow. On the one hand, for example, computer ethics might be understood very narrowly as the efforts of professional philosophers to apply traditional ethical theories like utilitarianism, Kantianism, or virtue ethics to issues regarding the use of computer technology. On the other hand, it is possible to construe computer ethics in a very broad way to include, as well, standards of professional practice, codes of conduct, aspects of computer law, public policy, corporate ethicseven certain topics in the sociology and psychology of computing. In the industrialized nations of the world, the "information revolution" already has significantly altered many aspects of life in banking and commerce, work and employment, medical care, national defense, transportation and entertainment. Consequently, information technology has begun to affect (in both good and bad ways) community life, family life, human relationships, education, freedom, democracy, and so on (to name a few examples). Computer ethics in the broadest sense can be understood as that branch of applied ethics which studies and analyzes such social and ethical impacts of information technology.

109. Philosophy Department such as Business ethics, Computer ethics, philosophy of Art, philosophy of and Political philosophy, philosophy of Education, and Business ethics. http://www.rivier.edu/departments/philos/body.htm

In the long-standing tradition of Catholic liberal arts education, the study of philosophy has always been regarded as central to the formation of the truly educated person. Thus, Rivier College includes a philosophy requirement as a central component of its liberal arts core curriculum. Courses in the department invite students to participate in the philosophical quest for the purpose of human life, the essence of good community, and the ultimate nature of things. The study of philosophy also develops specific skills of mind and character, valuable in themselves, but also readily transferable and adaptable to a wide ranges of jobs and careers in business, industry, government, and the professions. The department offers the option of a minor in philosophy and maintains strong ties with other departments in the College through specific course offerings relevant to those departments, such as Business Ethics, Computer Ethics, Philosophy of Art, Philosophy of Law, and Philosophy of Education.

For any statement, claim, sentence, belief, etc. (eg, ‘humans have rights’, ‘animals are wrong to kill’), http://courses.ats.rochester.edu/nobis/animals/clarity-in-thinking.html

A Brief Guide on How to do Ethics / Philosophy For any statement, claim, sentence, belief, etc. (e.g., ‘humans have rights’, ‘animals are wrong to kill’), first ask this: What exactly does this claim mean What exactly is someone trying to say when he or she is saying this? This is important because people can say things that are ambiguous and imprecise Statements are ambiguous when they more than one meaning; this is due to the words that they are composed of having more than one meaning. Statements are imprecise when it is not clear how many things a claim is referring to. So here are some questions about the claims above to try to more carefully understand. Is this person saying: ‘Humans have legal rights’ or ‘Humans have moral rights’? (One can have one without the other, e.g., slavery). Some humans have moral rights’ or ‘ All humans have moral rights’? ‘ Some animals are wrong to kill’ or ‘ All animals are wrong to kill’? (Missing some’s and all’s can make a big difference!) What is meant by ‘ humans ’ anyway? Anything that is biologically human (like, say, some living human cells in a

Our Philosophy and Ethics of Breeding: We believe that the primary reason for breeding traditional Siamese and Balinese cats is to preserve, protect and promote these traditional cats by giving special consideration to the genetic and physical health of the breeding queens and stud cats, with special attention to their temperament. We are dedicated to the ideas that bind together the members of the Traditional Cat Association, Inc. who are owners and breeders of these very special cats. These lovely cats must continue to be available to persons who cherish their great beauty, loyalty, and personality as well as excellent general health and longevity. For us, as breeders, this means careful selection of dams and sires to ensure that the kittens will be highest quality pets; healthy, genetically sound, people-oriented, and conforming to the breed standards of the Traditional Cat Association, Inc. We have entered into the breeding of cats out of love of this now very rare type of cat, and personal enjoyment of helping to find the right potential homes for the kittens. The potential buyers, like us, love and understand the special traits of the Traditional Siamese and Balinese cats. To ensure that inappropriate adoptions do not happen, potential buyers are screened.

Same Day Delivery Available On All Papers! Only onfiles /page + FREE Bibliography!!! Ethics Papers Page 4 of 12 The Practical Application of the Theories of Kant and Mill send me this paper Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill are philosophers who addressed the issues of morality in terms of how moral traditions are formed. Kant's theory of categorical imperative states that humanity is of ultimate value and should be regarded as an end in itself. Mill's 'principle of utility' or 'the greatest happiness principle' sought for the systematic coherency of ethical philosophy through the consequences of actions as the consideration determining their morality, presupposed by the acquisition of happiness as opposed to the avoidance of pain. This 6 page paper examines the practical application of the two theories. Bibliography lists 2 sources. Filename: KTpramak.wps

118. Woodhill Publishing: Purpose Of Life, A Book On Philosophy / Ethics / Evolution The Purpose of Life is summarised. This is a book on the philosophy of values and ethics from a viewpoint of evolution or sociobiology. http://www.woodhillpublishing.co.uk

Woodhill Publishing The Purpose of Life Summary of Main Argument Book Contents Page Contact Details Order Form ... Home The Purpose of Life by Donald Cameron Woodhill Publishing (2001) The Purpose of Life is an entirely non-mystical solution to the problem of moral philosophy derived with the aid of current ideas in biology and mathematical decision theory. Dr Cameron makes the ambitious claim to have solved the problem, for the first time providing objective answers to questions of values and ethics. Statements about value, purpose or morality are fundamentally different from statements about fact and scientific attempts to prove them from premises of fact must fail. The philosophers' principle that you cannot derive an "ought" from an "is" is valid. A value conclusion cannot be drawn from premises consisting only of facts. There must be at least one value premise. This result has been used by philosophers as a licence to pull complex value statements out of their culturally conditioned feelings before applying reasoning to them. The author uses a different approach. That is to seek the most basic, self-evident axioms of value. These are (a) to wish not to hold contradictory beliefs about values, (b) to reject nihilism (the idea that nothing matters at all) and (c) to wish one's values not to be a result of random accidental events, but to have a source of information. The only source of non-random information, which has created human values, including the human instinct to build an ethical culture, is the force of natural selection. The fact of evolution and, in particular, the modern analyses of the evolution of altruism and social behaviour are essential to understand any philosophy of values. It is astonishing that so many investigators of ethics have felt able to ignore them.

Each of these approaches to ethics highlights the differences between men's and women's respective situations in life- biological and social; provides strategies for dealing with issues that arise in private as well as public life; and offers action guides intended to undermine rather than bolster the present systematic subordination of women (Jaggar, "Feminist Ethics," 1992). Considered together the overall aim of all feminist approaches to ethics, irrespective of their specific labels, is to create a gender-equal ethics, a moral theory that generates non-sexist moral principles, policies, and practices. 1.
