The second page delves deeper into philosophical perspectives on natural morality, exploring various interpretations of goodness and moral truth.
Vocabulary: Eudaemonia refers to human flourishing or well-being as the highest good in ethical philosophy.
Example: Kropotkin's refusal to photograph indigenous people while they slept demonstrates practical application of moral principles.
Definition: Intellectual Ethics involves taught qualities, while Moral Virtue develops through habit and experience.
Quote: "We become just by doing just acts" - Aristotle's perspective on moral development.
The third page examines the Naturalism strengths and weaknesses in ethics, providing a comprehensive analysis of its practical implications.
Highlight: Naturalism provides a scientific approach to morality, allowing for rational discussion and verification of moral claims.
Definition: The Naturalistic Fallacy refers to the error of defining good solely in terms of natural properties.
Example: Reducing complex moral concepts like "good" and "evil" to simple psychological states of pleasure and pain demonstrates a key weakness.
Vocabulary: Moral objectivism refers to the view that moral truths exist independently of what people believe or feel.
The first page introduces fundamental concepts in ethical philosophy, particularly focusing on cognitive and non-cognitive approaches to moral statements. Ethical naturalism and moral objectivism emerge as key frameworks for understanding moral truth.
Definition: Cognitive approach views moral statements as capable of being true or false, while non-cognitive approach considers ethical statements as subjective expressions.
Example: Happiness as a natural quality can be measured and compared across situations, making it a basis for moral judgment.
Highlight: Ethical naturalists maintain that moral truths are absolute facts discoverable in the natural world, similar to scientific facts.
Quote: "Everything arises from natural properties and causes" - Bradley's fundamental assertion about moral properties.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
