For this last essay the theme is ethics. In 2 to 4 pages discuss your view on what constitutes ethical behavior. You are free to use any of the readings we’ve done in the last part of the semester to serve as a context for your discussion (Kant’s Grounding, Camus’ The Stranger, and Sartre’s Respectable Prostitute and The Flies). You may present a criticism of the philosophical view you are addressing or explain how you’ve appropriated elements of that view. On the other hand you may focus mainly on developing and presenting your own views. In either case, be sure to explain the underlying principles and rationale for your view and consider any possible counter-examples that might undermine your account of what counts as ethical behavior. Some possible issues to consider are the notions of freedom and human agency, authenticity, the human capacity for ethical reasoning, and the role of religious or social views in grounding what counts as ethical behavior. One question you might contemplate to get the cognitive juices flowing is the following: “Is it possible for a person to be 100% certain that what he or she is doing is morally correct? Why or why not?” Your answer to this question should help you in determining what you ultimately will take to be ethical behavior. Once again, the prompt is: “What constitutes ethical behavior”?
