Women Moral Decisions Differently than Man

/in /by

QUESTION 4

Carol Gilligan has argued that women make moral decisions differently than men, but that women’s way of making moral decisions is equally as valid as men’s. How, according to Gilligan, do women tend to think of ethics? What are their main considerations when asked to solve ethical dilemmas? How does their approach differ from the Kantian approach said to be typical of men? (see pages 274-277).

QUESTION 2

Virtue Ethics differs from both utilitarianism and duty-defined moralities such as Kant’s, and in a very specific way.

Namely: Virtue Ethics is primarily concerned with the characters and habits of persons, while the other two theories are concerned with the goodness/badness or rightness/wrongness of particular actions. Discuss this difference. What difference does it make, in practical terms?
