Approaches of Utilitarianism

Is torture considered a moral practice in U.S. anti-terror efforts? Today, 48% say there are some circumstances under which the use of torture is acceptable in U.S. anti-terrorism efforts; However, about 49% say there are no circumstances under which the use of torture is morally acceptable. In this essay, you will decide if torture is a moral practice in U.S. In order to do so, you must apply Utilitarianism to be in favor of torture OR Apply Kant’s Categorical Imperative to be against torture. You must have a clear and solid position. Apply one theory in order to obtain points. Not applying Utilitarianism or Kant’s categorical Imperative results in an automatic zero in this question. This question is 40 points, therefore you must have a minimum of five paragraphs.

Utilitarianism-Fully apply Bentham’s Principle of Utility for 20 points and his Felicific Calculus for another 20 points. You may apply Rule-Utilitarianism, as it forms a basis for the morality of torture.

Kant’s Categorical Imperative- Fully apply Kant’s first formulation for 20 points and apply Kant’s second formulation for another 20 points.

Natural Rights to Private Property by John Locke Analysis

  1. In Chapter five, Locke presents an argument for man’s natural right to private property. What is that argument? What does he conclude that such a right consists in? What is the end, origin and extent of that right for man originally, and for man as he is presently situated? Is it natural to all men? Is it limited in scope? Has the right changed over time? What occasioned that change, if it did in fact alter? Does man have a right to unlimited acquisition of private property according to Locke?

2. For Locke, all power that one man has over another man is a limited power. Why is such power always limited? He further argues in the case of such particular modes of such a power that the limits, origin and ends of the power is different, why? In the case of parental power, spousal power, and political power, why is each of these powers limited in its own peculiar manner? Present how he argues that political power, his principal concern, is limited. Present how and why the other forms of power over an other is limited in their own manner.

Devices that Destroys Peoples Souls

Living Like Weasels

Hello,

I want tow essays normal essays not a high professionals ones and with no copy and paste and no plagiarism and not other resources that I give it to you .

you must write in response .

This essay should be about 5-7 double spaced pages in length.

In evaluating your work, I’ll especially attend to:

1) your response to the prompt.

2) the scope and sophistication of your engagement with relevant texts and classroom conversations.

3) the clarity, precision, and coherence of your argument, including the mechanics and diction of your writing.

 

In class, we talked about the the capacity we call “freedom” being one of the things that sets humans apart from other animals. We also noted that when we think about freedom, we typically do so in terms of choice; to be free it to have choices, and more choices are usually equated with more freedom. But we also read and talked about freedom being other than, or more than, mere choice; Christian tradition has held that freedom is about choosing and doing good, and Annie Dillard, in her essay “Living Like Weasels,” suggests that choice can be the enemy of true freedom. Write an essay in conversation with your learning about freedom, giving an account of what freedom is, why it is important, and how it properly functions socially in terms of the freedom and flourishing of others.

Philosophy Problem Avicenna Wishes to Solve

Thinkers in the Medieval Period were preoccupied with problems surrounding the existence of God. Avicenna took up the problem of the necessity of God’s existence. He solves the problem by resolving a series of issues surrounding it. Our reading this week provides a good explanation of his proof and does so in only one and a half pages of text. The shortness of this argument provides us with a good opportunity to examine a complex philosophical argument and to judge its effectiveness. The author of our text explains the argument step-by-step, and shares with us both the difficulties with each step and the insight it provides.
