Philosophy questions

    1. Think about which concepts influenced your worldview during the semester. Select one idea from each of the following fields of philosophy (Philosophy of Religion, Metaphysics, Epistemology, and Philosophy of Mind) for a total of four concepts (minimum 1000 words). Explain this concept fully as if your reader has never heard of it before. Quote sparingly. This explanation is to be in your words, primarily. Relate this concept to your worldview. How has the idea you have chosen changed your philosophical perspective on life? Relate the importance of this perspective to the history of ideas. What made this concept essential to study? Why should people continue to explore this concept? 2. Select two ethical theories from Assignments Week 11-13. You may select from ethical relativism, ethical egoism, utilitarianism (act or rule), natural law or Kant’s moral theory (minimum 1000 words). Explain the two ethical theories fully in your own words as if your reader has never heard of it before. Apply the two theories to the Trolley Problem. Finally, among all the ethical systems we studied, which one do you feel you use the most to make your own ethical decisions, and why?
