1) Articulate: How does Judith Boss show that moral relativism (despite that many people initially think it to be a viable moral theory) to be a weak ethical theory that can lead to intolerance and harm? Argue: Justify which ethical theory from Solomon and Higgins makes the most sense for making ethical decisions? 2) Articulate: According the Stanley Rosen (video) and the reading The Creation of Morality" how should we understand Nietzsche's ethics? He hated both the traditional religion and philosophy of his day, but did he believe that we should abandon morality entirely? Argue: Nietzsche states that "God is deal. We have killed him..."
