100% Verified Answers Graded A+
Consequentialism
an ethical system that determines the level of goodness or evil from the effect or result
of an act
Deontology
Approach to ethics that judges the morality (right or wrong) of an action based on the
action's adherence to rules. Described as duty or obligation, because rules 'binds you to
your duty'
Virtue Ethics
An ethical philosophy claiming that morality's primary function is to develop virtuous
character, Aristotle, mean of virtues and vices
Morally Permissible
An action that is morally permissible to do but not obligated to do.
morally obligatory
Immoral if you don't commit to obligatory act. Either absolutely moral or absolutely
immoral - moral obligation. Must do!
morally impermissible actions
Actions that one ought not to do: lying, stealing, killing, etc. One has a duty not to do it.
morally supererogatory
actions that are not duties but are praiseworthy, acts that go above and beyond.
The Naïve View (about moral responsibility and mental disorder)
Having a mental disorder itself implies something about one's freedom and moral
responsibility. Typically, the naïve view is appealed to when we want to excuse
someone from moral responsibility for wrongdoing. Naive view would say culpability
decreases if someone has a mental disorder.
The Nuanced View (about moral responsibility and mental disorder)
There is no general relationship between moral responsibility and psychopathology.
Argument from Pathology
Because mental disorders are pathological in nature, or act as a disease within the
agent, the agent's actions therefore must be pathological and disarranged as well. That
is to say, the agent is sick, and because they are sick they need to be treated as such:
controlling the pathological disorder and reducing blame as if they are a child.
Argument from Ultimacy
the agent cannot be responsible for their actions because they didn't choose to have the
disorder. An agent has no control when, where, and how they acquired a certain
disorder
Argument from Control
Along with the disorders themselves, oftentimes these illnesses are accompanied by a
myriad of impulses, anxieties, urges, manias, and self-deceptions that result in a loss of
control. Of the three main arguments, this one is the strongest and most difficult to
disprove, as it directly addresses the agent's responsibility, which is a core facet of
agency
