Document Summary
In the beginning an introduction to ethics (cid:862)we are discussing no small matter but how we should live. (cid:863) Socrates via plato in the republic 500bc: how we think we should live = ethics (big picture question, long-term and over a life-span) Historically there was no difference, but nowadays there is a difference in literature. In this class we will use these terms interchangeably. Example: the not-withstanding clause which will wipe out toronto council, this argues that it takes way democratic council. Ford saying that he will cut the numbers to decrease spending. What do you use reason and rational debate, what are the alternatives? (power/money/personal gain/strength). The realm of the possible: a moral or ethical decision is justified (defensible) if it is supported by the best available reasons impartially applied. Impartially applied meaning to not have any bias, to have bias is to have a conflict in interest.
