I agree, I think Aristotle is the best, and that we should never be at the extreme of either vices.

I particulary like as well that it believed we are the same in ability. I like the outlook that what the human wants is not what he will get because we are all going for the same thing…

Comment on Hobbe’s Social Contract by kellymarie

I like how you mention there is a set of enforcers. I left that out of my summary of the social contract. I did mention we give our rights to the enforcer but forgot how important it is to have a powerful team of people to follow through with set guidelines…

I’m curious as to why you say that “not everyone is capable” of acting in a certain way. Exactly what “ways” do you mean? How does this relate to the idea of self-interest that you mention in the previous sentence?

I DON’T BELIEVE KANT TELLS US TO WILL ANYTHING IMMORAL INTO LAW. I BELIEVE KANT IS HELPING US DETERMINE WHAT ACTIONS ARE MORAL IF THEY WORK ALL THE TIME. IF THESE ACTIONS DON’T ALWAYS WORK THAN CI TELLS US HOW TO ACT.

I agree with your point there is not much that can be add kant way of thinking is correct in this situation.

Yes, in this case, the maxim cannot be willed into universal law. Where there are no promises, the maxim doesn’t work. If a person borrows money from you one time and doesn’t pay it back, the second time this situation comes up, you will not lend the person money.

Comment on Mill vs. Kant by jgreen73

I guess the only real way in which both Mill and Kant can agree would be whenever a good action turns out to be good. This way they are both satisfied as the purpose has met its objective.

Comment on Breaking moral rules by Boone B. Gorges

Do you think it would make a difference if there was no one who loved JoJo? Indeed, imagine that everyone in the world hated him, and that JoJo wanted to keep living, but only just barely. Do these changes in the example make it OK to kill JoJo?

Comment on Moral Fabrics by titias

I think the first theory is important because is shows the gratification of higher priorities, and the act can be consider as right or wrong. I aslo agree with Mill’s statement that lie can be lethal to society, when taking into consideration that society is based on agreement between poeple who expect others to be honest.
