Write a paper detailing the arguments AGAINST all the basic principles we have covered in the first two lectures. The topics covered were:
• Cultural Relativism
• Subjectivism in Ethics
• Divine Command Theory
• Natural Law Theory
• Ethical Egoism
Describe the challenges they present and what problems of logic they encounter. Do they satisfactorily address the tenets of The Minimum Conception of Morality (MCM), reason and impartiality?
Explain your reasons. How does each of these theories challenge the MCM? How do they fail to provide a logically consistent concept of morality?
Use your readings as well as class screenings to justify and illustrate your points. Late papers will lose a letter grade for each day they are late.
