What is Philosophy & Ethics?
The quest to answer the ‘unanswerable’!
![Page 3: Ethics at Ashlyns Philosophy Welcome to...Philosophy of Religion: –Arguments for the existence of God •From observation •From reason –Soul, mind and body –What are the attributes](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041113/5f1e355766d07f49740dc9c8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Philosophy means ‘Love of Wisdom’ and is the search to find the answers to the
unanswerable and is asking the questions now that will be answered in the decades,
centuries and to come.
For example… every medical advancement we make every action a
government takes is also weighed in terms of ethics, what is the right thing to do???

DEONTOLOGICALActions are either morally
right or wrong in themselves
CONSEQUENTIALISM Actions are morally
right or wrong depending upon the result they bring about
SITUATIONISMActions are morally right or
wrong as decided on their own merits on a case-by-case basis

Watch the video below very carefully.

Having watched the previous video…
...why do you think the concept shown below is called the INCONSISTENT Triad?
![Page 24: Ethics at Ashlyns Philosophy Welcome to...Philosophy of Religion: –Arguments for the existence of God •From observation •From reason –Soul, mind and body –What are the attributes](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041113/5f1e355766d07f49740dc9c8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mindmap the info from the previous video into
1. BASIC FACTS2. KEY CONCEPTS of what the
philosopher was arguing!3. ANY IMPLICATIONS? (WHY are
these concepts important? Or why might they provide certain implications or consequences?)
4. Are there any arguments AGAINST what they were arguing?
5. What is YOUR opinion...why?
