Question Set A. Kantian Ethics. Explain the difference between a hypothetical imperative and a Categorical Imperative. Describe one formulation of the Categorical Imperative. Give an example of an action that would be impermissible according to that formulation of the Categorical Imperative. Explain in detail why that formulation of the Categorical Imperative (so understood) would judge that action as impermissible. Question Set B. Social Contract Theory. Describe Hobbes' State of Nature. Explain how the State of Nature thought experiment is used to explain what makes actions right and wrong under Social Contract Theory (this will require describing Social Contract Theory) Explain one of the potential shortcomings or 'vices' of SCT. Do you think that shortcoming gives us compelling reasons to reject this moral theory? Support your answer with reasons. Question Set C. Virtue Ethics. Explain what Aristotle means when he says that virtue ‘lies in a mean’. What would a Virtue Theory look like if it did NOT claim that virtue lies in mean? *Hint* I gave such an example when discussing the Code of Chivalry followed by knight errants. Choose a virtue. Using that virtue, explain why Aristotle’s Virtue Theory is more plausible than the theory you described in ‘2’. (That is, why is it better to view virtue as 'lying in mean' than to not do so). What is one of the potential shortcomings or 'vices' of Virtue Theory? Do you think that shortcoming gives us compelling reasons to reject this moral theory? Support your answer with reasons. Question Set D. Feminist Ethics. Feminist Ethics is a reaction to a pattern or trend in the history of Western Philosophy’s moral theorizing that feminists criticized. Explain what this pattern or trend is and Describe and explain two specific features of the other historical moral theories that exemplify that pattern. Be sure your answer explains WHY those features exemplify the pattern you described in '1' If, as Feminist Ethicists claim, our moral theory should not have those features you described in ‘2,’ what alternative features do the Feminist Ethicists suggest instead? What can be said in favor of the feminists’ alternatives? What is one of the potential shortcomings or 'vices' of Feminist Ethics? Do you think that shortcoming gives us compelling reasons to reject this moral theory? Support your answer with reasons.
