Philosophy Quiz 2

"the general rule a person was following in choosing to do what he did"

There are 2 grociers, both who may not cheat their customers.

1) The first may not because of self interest (not wanting to get caught)

2) The second strictly because he feels he should treat all customers fairly.

ITS THE INSIDE INTENTION THAT COUNTS. GOOD WILL = MORAL WORTH

IFF the morality of an action is determined by whether the maxim of the action could be reasonably accepted as something everyone would be required to adopt.

FIND!!

"IFF it is not intended to treat someone as a means to one's own end, but treat them all intrinsicly"

IFF it is acceptable to the individual who undertakes that action.

LOOK UPP!!

IFF it is acceptable in the culture in which the action is performed.

It doesnt allow us to look down on our or other cultures.

"considering the circumstances going down, if all impartial rational people would accept the action knowing that moral rules are allowed to be violated in those circumstances"

If you were to broadcast around that someone was cheating, most people would not say that this is acceptable in the circumstances. Therefore, it is not a justifiable violation to a moral rule.

Since in the heirarchy of values, the value lower in the heirarchy yeilds to the one that is higher, in the case of many of these cultural things, tolerance would be lower than compassion.
