MORAL JUDGEMENT Theory of Knowledge

MORAL JUDGEMENT How can what is right be known? Are moral judgements dispensible? Can moral judgements ever be justified? If so, how?

What possible bases are there for the making of moral judgements? How would you assess the role of the following in the justification of moral positions: reason emotion conscience tradition religion law intuition

MORAL JUDGEMENT Is there a hierarchy of values in moral judgements? Can there be a highest good? What is the case for and against moral skepticism?

Moral Judgement What are the differences between judging moral actions according to: obligations ideals consequences

MORAL JUDGEMENT Are some people naturally more moral than others? What is the moral significance of the qualities with which people are born? What are the dangers of self- deception, blindness, complacency and mass prejudices in making moral judgements?

MORAL JUDGEMENTS How are the moral beliefs of one community and one time related to the views of other contemporary communities and to those of people of other times? Do we have the right to judge other cultures and other eras?

MORAL JUDGEMENT Can knowledge improve moral character? Does living a moral life matter?

MORAL JUDGEMENT If moral decisions are not clear, or if moral issues are controversial, does it follow that there is no just justifiable concept as right or wrong? How much ambiguity is tolerable in ethics for it still to be called ‘knowledge’? How might this question be applicable to other Areas of Knowledge?
