MacIntyre, Dependent Rational Animals
[ send me this essay ]
An 6 page essay that summarizes and analyzes Alasdair MacIntyre’s Dependent Rational Animals, Why Human Beings Need the Virtues, which calls for the development of a "distinctive" set of virtues, which are constructed not only on acknowledgment of humanity’s rational nature, but also on the fact that human beings are part of the animal kingdom and dependent on each other in various ways throughout the life span. This paper discusses MacIntyre’s thesis in details and then offers the reasons why this writer/tutor agrees, but also feels that MacIntyre left out a major area of ethical philosophy that encompasses precisely the virtues that he calls for in his book.

Mackie's "The Argument From Queerness"
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. John L. Mackie ascertained that humanity's moral judgments are founded in nothing more than a "mistaken belief in objective value" (p. 94). According to Mackie, if objective moral truth did, indeed, exist, people would then live their lives in accordance to just one moral body of law. However, this is not the case, as all of the planet's people follow many moral codes that remain inconsistent with any other. In actuality, and based upon this argument, there is no such thing as objective moral truths as they exist in the contemporary world. Having addressed these concepts, the philosopher has brought to bear his interpretation of the argument from queerness. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
