Slide12The self-interest theory We should aim at the acquisition of all those things we most desire If we cultivate virtues like generosity, bravery, temperance and loyalty, on the long term these will make us happy (Aristotle - Nichomachean Ethics) Self-interest is not selfishness: concern for others is rational self-interest
Slide13The universal law theory Kant: the categorical imperative The universal law: we act in such a way that our actions could become a universal rule of human conduct The law of respecting others: People should be respected as rational beings with goals of their own. No-one should use people simply to attain their own goals
Slide14The utilitarian theory Actions are right if they are useful, or for the benefit of, the majority More applicable to governments or organizations rather than being a personal ethical code
