PHIL 1175 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Sola Gratia, Old Age, Stoicism
Document Summary
Aristotle: discovered logic (and the first to write about it) Justice is to conform to the law: as members of society we each share a responsibility to behave properly, the principle of justice and equality requires 4 factors. 2 conflicting claims and 2 claiming persons (principle of equality: only equals are treated equally) Equality is always proportionate equality (burderns are in accordance to how an individual can carry them or execute them) Distinction between convention and nature: convention: to come together; social practices not mandated by morality or law (it"s just the way we do things) Can be other than the way they are: nature: given to us by nature. Kardia - spirit within us where the body resides. Augustine - the morals of the catholic church. Argues that the primary human motivator is love. The good of the body is the soul (the soul gives the body life - gives the body the ability to enjoy life)
