This document discusses different definitions and meanings of philosophy. It defines philosophy as:
1) A set of beliefs or worldview that provides answers to difficult questions. Examples include religions and political ideologies.
2) An activity of reasoning and using rational thinking to understand complex questions.
3) An academic discipline studied at a university level.
It also discusses why critical thinking, a key part of philosophy, can be difficult. Reasons include habit, fear of being wrong, desire for social acceptance, and evolutionary instincts for group-thinking and certainty. However, philosophy is valuable as it can provide answers over time, evaluate beliefs, and improve critical thinking skills.Ethical egoism

This document provides an overview of the ethical theory of ethical egoism. It begins by explaining that ethical egoism is a normative theory that judges actions based on self-interest rather than altruism. It notes that ethical egoism focuses on long-term self-interest rather than short-term desires. The document then discusses Max Stirner's conception of ethical egoism, in which he argued that self-interest should be the root of all actions. Finally, the document outlines some of the challenges to ethical egoism, including that it could destroy a sense of community, lead to social injustices, and be seen as a form of bigotry by prioritizing some individuals over others.Emotivism
Emotivismaquinas_rs
油
Emotivism is a meta-ethical theory that believes objective moral laws do not exist and that moral terms express personal emotional attitudes rather than factual propositions. According to A.J. Ayer, the philosopher who developed emotivism, ethical statements are neither verifiable nor analytic, but are used to express approval or disapproval in order to influence others. Emotivism faces challenges as it does not allow for basic moral principles to be established, renders ethical debate pointless, and means there can be no universal agreement on what actions are right or wrong.Ethical naturalism
Ethical naturalismaquinas_rs
油
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. Ethical naturalists would try to define good in terms of natural properties like happiness, pleasure, fulfilling needs/wants.
2. An 'is' refers to a statement of fact about the natural/empirical world that can be observed and verified, e.g. "grass is green".
3. An 'ought' refers to a statement of moral duty or obligation, e.g. "you ought to be kind".
4. Hume thinks we can't jump from an 'is' to an 'ought' because facts about the natural world can't logically determine moral conclusions about what we should or shouldn't do.
5. AnEthical intuitionism
Ethical intuitionismaquinas_rs
油
Ethical intuitionism holds that objective moral truths exist independently of human beings and can be discovered through moral intuition. Intuitionism posits that intuitive ability is innate and shared among all moral agents. However, intuition requires a mature mind and may differ depending on factors like culture, so intuitive "truths" are not infallible. Both G.E. Moore and H.A. Prichard were proponents of intuitionism, believing that moral obligations are recognized through intuition rather than defined rationally. While intuitionism allows for objective moral values, it faces challenges in providing proof of intuition and in resolving conflicts between differing intuitions.Buddhism

This document outlines the progression of lessons on Buddhism. It begins by having students state facts about Buddhism and compare them to other religions. It then has students describe how Buddhist beliefs impact lives and evaluate whether Buddhism is a real religion. Later, students learn additional facts, compare Buddhism to other religions in a table, and respond to views challenging Buddhism's status as a religion from their knowledge. The document provides guidance, tasks, and levels of understanding for students to demonstrate their learning.Lesson 2 methods of philosophizing

This document discusses psychological egoism and various philosophers' perspectives on human behavior and motivation. It summarizes the key points of psychological egoism as the view that all human actions are ultimately motivated by self-interest. It then outlines Thomas Hobbes' and Epicurus' views that behavior is motivated by seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. Finally, it presents James Rachels' arguments against psychological egoism, including that people sometimes act against their desires, unselfish acts are defined by their object which is helping others, and unselfish people derive satisfaction from helping others rather than themselves.Knowing Yourself

The document discusses the science of morality and argues that morality can and should be grounded in reality and science. It makes the following key points:
1) Morality needs an objective basis in what promotes human well-being and flourishing, which science is equipped to study and help define. Leaving morality to arbitrary religious pronouncements leaves it without a foundation.
2) Well-being can serve as a meaningful basis for morality, and science has tools to examine which actions and ethical systems best promote human well-being.
3) Morality is not inherently subjective but can be studied and discussed objectively, just as other domains like biology and physics are. Disagreement does not negate the possibilityPrcc chap 1

The document discusses different types of responses in counseling and communication. It describes advising and evaluating responses as being the most common but least helpful as they imply the listener knows better than the speaker. Analyzing and interpreting responses can make the speaker defensive by implying the listener knows the speaker better than themselves. Reassuring and supporting responses can deny the speaker's feelings. Questioning and probing can distract the speaker or lead them in a direction the listener wants. The most effective response is understanding and paraphrasing to assure the speaker you have heard and understood their thoughts and feelings.Rational Emotive Theory Part 1

Rational Emotive Therapy (RET) was developed by Albert Ellis in 1955. It is a cognitive behavioral therapy that focuses on identifying and disputing irrational beliefs that cause emotional disturbances. RET helps clients recognize that activating events themselves do not cause emotional consequences, but rather people's belief systems. The therapist helps clients identify irrational beliefs using the A-B-C model - where A is the activating event, B is the belief system, and C are the emotional/behavioral consequences. By disputing irrational beliefs, clients can develop more rational beliefs and reactions to events. RET differs from psychoanalysis by not delving into childhood and keeping the client responsible for challenging their own beliefs.MBTI Interpretation

The document provides an overview of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality assessment. It discusses that MBTI is based on Carl Jung's model of personality types defined by preferences on four dichotomies: Extraversion vs Introversion, Sensing vs Intuition, Thinking vs Feeling, and Judging vs Perceiving. For each dichotomy, it provides descriptions of the key words associated with each preference type and asks the reader to self-identify their own preferences. It then provides scenarios and questions to further aid in determining one's personality type according to MBTI.Ego defense mechnism part 6: reaction formation

- Definitional arguments for self-interest theory, which say that people feel guilty if they don't help others, so helping makes them less selfish, but choices are still selfish by definition.
- Utilitarianism, which is the theory that the morally right action is the one that maximizes happiness for the greatest number of people.Ethics presentation

Ethics is defined by several scholars. John Rawls defines ethics as how we decide to behave when we belong together and how our behavior affects others. Professor John Chaffee states ethics refers to the principles that govern our relationships and how we ought to behave. Ethics also involves having the ability to understand moral law and follow it because it is recognized as a moral imperative. Business ethics examines moral issues relating to social responsibilities of business practices and treatment of customers and employees. An Inconvenient Truth For Ethics Seminar

- The document analyzes the relationship between the average hours of video games played per school week and the average hours of sleep per school night for 50 high school students.
- Statistical analysis showed a weak negative linear correlation between video game time and sleep hours, indicating the variables were mostly independent. However, surveying the entire student population may have strengthened the correlation.
- While more video game time tended to equal less sleep, there was high variation in the data, and other factors like homework also impacted students' sleep amounts. So the relationship between video games and sleep was inconclusive based on this study.Experience america

1) The document summarizes an experiment that investigated how the temperature of water in a wine glass affects the resonant frequency produced when the glass is rung. Different water temperatures were tested, and it was predicted that frequency would decrease with increasing temperature.
2) The results showed no change in frequency across the tested temperatures, contradicting the prediction. Graphs of temperature vs. frequency produced straight lines with a slope of zero, indicating the variables were constant.
3) It was concluded that, within the tested temperatures, the water temperature did not affect the resonant frequency of the wine glass when rung. Further research with wider temperature ranges could potentially yield different results.Poetry anthology

- 1. David Batchelor October 13, 2010 Period 4, Senior Seminar Mr. Clover Ethics Seminar Outline Ethics- A branch of thinking that questions our morals that are right and wrong, and good and bad. Moral Reasoning Deciding whether something is moral through the use of reasoning Using reason to support ones value judgments Ex: War is acceptable/ War is unacceptable Do you think that people should use reason to support their value judgments, or should people be free to state whatever they want? Is this an accurate WOK as a way to gain knowledge? Why? Moral Principles When people argue about ethics, we usually appeal to a certain moral principle to justify that ethic. Ex: Abortion is wrong, Edna had an abortion, and therefore what Edna did was wrong. This is a way to reason about moral issues Do you think that moral principals are accurate in their answers? If yes why? If not why? Does this type of reasoning make a reasonable WOK? Moral Relativism According to moral relativism, our values are influenced by the environment and the society that we live in and that there are no universal values. Ex: some people drive on the left side of the road, and other countries the right. Some religions allow the consumption of pork, other religions prohibit it. Some women cant drive in their country, others can.
- 2. These are examples of different values because of the different societies that people live in. Do you think that there are no universal values as a result of moral relativism? Why? Self Interest Theory According to this theory, human beings are always selfish. This is seen as the opposite of moral behavior so that even if there are moral values, we will never live up to them because we are always selfish. To what extent do you believe in this? There are four types of arguments for the self interest theory however we will look at only two The Definitional Argument According to the definitional argument, it is true by definition that all people are selfish. You are being selfish when you do what you want to do, you always end up doing what you want to do therefore you are always ending up being selfish. Ex: Say it is a Saturday afternoon, and you have a choice to play video games, which you really like, or tutor a middle school student which you dislike. No matter what you feel obliged to do in this case, you are always being selfish by definition even though helping a student with his homework would be seen as unselfish. Do you think that it is impossible to be unselfish? Criticisms If by definition, everybody is selfish, then it can no longer be called selfish because it would be considered custom. To what extent do you believe in this criticism? The Evolutionary Argument According to the Evolutionary Argument, all humans are born naturally selfish who are programmed to pursue their own selfish interests.
- 3. This theory derives from the idea that we all strive to survive and pass our success to the next generation and we only care about other peoples interests only if it affects our own. To what extent do you believe in this argument? Are people born selfish? Criticisms Most people can prove that there is empathy and unselfishness in our nature Would society be the same as it is now if this argument were true? Utilitarianism According to this theory of ethics, there is one and only one moral principle- that we should find the greatest happiness of the greatest number or maximize happiness What do you think that this means to you? Would society be stable if this theory were to be pursued?
- 4. Discussion Questions 1. Do you think that people should use reason to support their value judgments, or should people be free to state whatever they want? 2. Is this an accurate WOK as a way to gain knowledge? Why? 3. Do you think that moral principals are accurate in their answers? If yes why? If not why? 4. Does this type of reasoning make a reasonable WOK? 5. Do you think that there are no universal values as a result of moral relativism? Why? 6. Do you think that it is impossible to be unselfish? 7. To what extent do you believe in this argument? 8. Are people born selfish? 9. Would society be the same as it is now if this argument were true? 10.What do you think that this means to you? 11. Would society be stable if this theory were to be pursued? 12. What type of WOK does this connect to most?
