Prof. Trautwein argued that ethical realist theories can be important to consider, even if you believe that moral rules are just invented by people, because: even if no such theory is objectively true, 'choosing' a theory as your moral basis provides a principled ground for ethical judgments rather than inconsistent or impulsive choices. we have an absolute moral obligation to understand other people's points of view, and many people take these theories very seriously. they will be asked about on the cumulative final exam, after classes end. they provide an insight into human evolution. Divine Command Theory claims that: humans have the ability to command God to carry out their wishes, such as through prayer. the rightness of an action depends upon one's doing one's moral duty, as expressed by a categorical imperative. either God commanded what is 'good' randomly or God's command was due to goodness existing independently of God. an action is right because God or gods order it, or wrong because God or gods forbid it. Utilitarianism is the theory that states: an action is right if it promotes your self-interest or benefit and wrong if it decreases it. morality means creating the greatest good for the greatest number. an action is right because God or gods order it, or wrong because God or gods forbid it. an action is right to the degree that it increases overall utility and wrong to the degree that it decreases it. in the assigned reading from "On Liberty," Mill is concerned with liberty in the sense of: limits on the power society can legitimately exercise over individuals. the London haberdashery. avoiding imprisonment. freedom of will in a deterministic universe. Which of these does Mill NOT include in the inward domain of consciousness? freedom of expression freedom of association freedom of publication freedom of thought
