QUESTION 1

 

Whereas traditional virtue theory (“virue caring”) focuses on finding the “mean”, as Aristotle put it, towards manifesting character in a person, Noddings’ version of the ethics of care places virtue in the context of caring within relationships. With this,

What is her argument for “relational caring” over “virtue” caring ?

What virtues must exist for relational caring to emerge and why so?

 

 

QUESTION 2

 

Rawls’ duty ethic takes deontology to a social level.

 

What does Rawls assert are the two duties (he calls them rules) necessary for a fair and just social contract?

How do these duties emerge from the “original position” and “veil of ignorance”?

 

 

QUESTION 3

 

In the assigned reading “Basic and Simple Versions”, six different types of consequentialism are offered.

 

Into which of those six types does restricted utilitarianism, as the writer characterizes it, fall and why so?

Into which of those six types does Smart’s extreme utilitarianism fall and why so?

 

 

QUESTION 4

 

Applied Topic: Universal Health Care

 

Like the debate regarding how strong gun laws should be, the question of if health care should be publically funded so everyone has access to it has been controversial.

 

Considering this debate, argue for (do not just identify) how each of the following philosophers covered in this module would address this issue:

 

Noddings via her theory of relational caring

Rawls via his concept of the original position/veil of ignorance

Smart via his extreme utlitarianism

The positions (for, against, a little of both, a revision, etc.) is entirely up to the student to choose. Just make certain to draw from specific content within the assigned texts and/or videos.

 

So, there should thus be three distinct well-reasoned arguments, each with its own specific textual support from the assigned readings or videos, NOT FROM OTHER SOURCES.
