Objectivism/Absolutism  There is fundamentally one & only one good life for all to lead…

Subjectivism/Relativism  There is no absolute determination of morality  Truth is relative to the individual & circumstances  Moral judgments are neither true or false  Truth & false can only be interpreted by each individual

Empiricism  Believes that we should only trust what we experience personally  Measured by and filtered through the senses

Hedonism  Comes from the Greek word for pleasure  Pleasure alone is good  All happiness is a function of pleasure  Hippie motto: “If it feels good, do it.”  Differs from Epicureanism – pain negates pleasure – hedonism makes no such distinction

Quietism  Eastern/Oriental ethical philosophy  Accept adversity  Though we suffer, it’s our ethical duty to make the best of things  Submission in tranquility & meditation  Physical world of the senses is an illusion  Truth & happiness transcends the material world

Cynicism  Assumes the world is fundamentally evil  To live righteously – withdraw from participation in the world  Possession of material goods c/n create happiness – creates constant striving, continual disappointment, dissatisfaction  True happiness resides within each  Live frugal, solitary life shunning world’s goods
