Question 10. Could an Ethical Realist agree to the following claim: action x can be morally acceptable for me and yet at the same time morally unacceptable for you?

10. Could an Ethical Realist agree to the following claim: action x can be morally acceptable for me and yet at the same time morally unacceptable for you?

(a) Yes. Although you and I are doing the same action (say, watering the lawn), we might be in different circumstances(say, I am in a place where water is plentiful and you are in a place where water is lacking) such that it is morally acceptable—independent of anyone’s say-so—for me to do the action and it is morally unacceptable—independent of anyone’s say-so—for you to do that same action.

(b) No. It is saying that right and wrong differs between people, which means that right and wrong is relativeto each person.

(c) No. Ethical realism says that what is acceptable for one person must be acceptable for every other person.

(d) b and c

(e) None of the above

1. If you reject divine command theory, then that does not mean that you reject the existence of God.—T or F?
2. According to divine command theory (and all the ethical relativist theories, for that matter), the fact that

child abuse causes physical and psychological trauma has no bearing on whether child abuse is wrong.—T or F?

13. Assume that you are an ethical egoist. Why does it seem that, in most cases at least, it is morally impermissible for you to defend ethical egoism, publically advocate for it?

(a) Because ethical egoism is a view defended by Ayn Rand, an infamous prostitute that no one would ever want to be associated with.

(b) Because ethical egoism is a form of a rather reprehensible view: ethical nihilism

(c) Because it is in your best interest to have others believe that it is right to promote yourinterests rather than theirs.

(d) a and c

(e) All of the above

1. What distinguishes ethical relativism/conventionalism from ethical nihilism/subjectivism?
2. (a) Ethical relativism holds that the truth of ethical statements depends on someone’s say-so whereas ethical nihilism holds that ethical truths are true regardless as to anyone’s say so.
3. (b) Ethical relativism holds that right and wrong are determined by society/culture whereas ethical nihilism holds that right and wrong is determined by each individual (hence the fact that it is also called “ethical subjectivism“).
4. (c) Ethical relativism holds that the truth of ethical statements depends on someone’s say-so whereas ethical nihilism holds that ethical statements have no truth value.
5. (d) Ethical relativism holds that right and wrong are determined by someone’s say-so whereas ethical nihilism holds that statements concerning what is right or what is wrong are neither true nor false.
6. (e) c and d
7. Ethical egoism holds that you should never act in ways that benefit others.—T or F?
8. Ethical egoism is the doctrine that each person always pursues his or her own interests.—T or F?
