Dragon324 16 Report post Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) So I'm doing my stupied homework when I decided that this actually kind of makes a good debate topic lol. First of all let me tell you what each form represent Formalism [*]Formalism States that in order to be moral you must do your duty. States that it is only moral if it is accepted universailly States that you should not be unethical no matter what the situation is ( You should always tell the truth even if it means someone could be killed) [*]Virtue Ethics Ethics is Being happy with what you are doing, Desire somthing good even if we dont want to, Do the right thing States that by doing the right thing you are an ethical person Stated that you must do the right thing over and over again, not just once to be a morally good person. Personally I go virtue ethics 90% of the way and formalism 50% of the way. In formalism I dont like number 3 or in formalism number 2, and I also dont like number part of number 1 in virtue ethics- the happy part. Discuss and feel my pain that I had to learn :P. Trust me when I say in the book its so much more complicated but I tried to dim it down some ( however I might be wrong with some of this if I'm please just PM me and I will fix it.)
