Book Discussion #2 Ideas (may select 1 or more to respond to) submit to Discussion Drop Box by 3/1 at 11:59 pm:

• 1. Write on contrasting Kant's approach to ethics with consequentialism. Which do you think is better, and why?
• 2. Explain Kant's principle of universalizability and the principle of humanity. Do they ever give conflicting advice? If so, which do you think is a better guide to our moral obligations?
• 3. Kant claims that humans have a special kind of value not possessed by anything else on earth. How does he justify this claim? What are the implications of this view regarding the moral status of non-human animals? Do you find this view plausible?
• 4. What gives actions moral worth, according to Kant? Compare Kant's view on this subject with the view of the utilitarian. Which view do you think is preferable, and why?
