  14. For more course tutorials visit www.uophelp.com PHI 208 Week 2 Discussion 1 (basic principle of equality) Singer reasons for what he calls the “basic principle of equality”.

  27. For more course tutorials visit www.uophelp.com PHI 208 Week 3 Discussion (Kant Right Action) Kant famously states that the only thing good without qualification is a good will.

Provide an example (real or made up) of someone doing a good thing but out of a motive other than that of a good will, and give reasons for why you think Kant is right, or why you think Kant is wrong that this action lacks moral value.

  28. For more course tutorials visit www.uophelp.com PHI 208 Week 3 Discussion (Kant’s formulations) One of Kant’s formulations of the Categorical Imperative says that one should always treat humanity, whether in oneself or in another, always as an end and never merely as a means.

  31. For more course tutorials visit www.uophelp.com PHI 208 Week 4 Discussion (Aristotle) Aristotle says that the virtues are necessary for humans to attain happiness, but he means this in terms of something we might call “flourishing” or “living well”, which he considers quite different than simply feeling good. Thus, according to Aristotle some people might feel that they are happy, but because they lack the virtues they are not truly flourishing.

  32. For more course tutorials visit www.uophelp.com PHI 208 Week 4 Discussion (Aristotle’s account of eudaimonia) Is it possible for individuals to flourish if others with whom they are connected are not also flourishing?

In other words, when it comes to our relation to the environment, what attitudes and behaviors would be characteristic of a virtuous person, and what attitudes and behaviors may be characteristic of a person who lacks the virtues?
