The supreme principle of morality, posits Kant, is a moral law that is universal, unconditional, and from where we can derive all morality; hence, it must be adequate to inform all moral conduct (G 4:417). In formulating the categorical imperative, Kant develops the Formula of Humanity, which is as follows; “so act that you use humanity, whether

Why have leaders? Why not embrace anarchy where decision-making and power are shared evenly among community members? Although this system would seem to ensure peace, harmony, and equality within society, it may foster complacency and stunt progress. This idea of how power should be distributed within a group has perplexed society for years, and John Steinbeck explores this theme while describing a family’s experience during the Great Depression. By presenting differing types of communities in his

Throughout the semester we have looked at many texts from the late middle ages to the beginning of the Russian Revolution.

Lysimachus' lack of awareness is not just a comic foil for the serious business of the dialogue. It has been noted that his serious but unfocused use of social value-terms of high aspiration, e.g. for all their children to be 'the best' and not end up, as he and Melesias are, 'without reputation', augurs the dilemma of the unity of separateness of virtues which is the central to the final part of the argument of the dialogue.

John Locke: He is the father of British empiricism. He defines morality as based on the command of God. According to Locke, the basic principles of morality are decreed by God and are self-evident. From these self-evident principles, detailed rules of conduct can be deduced with certainty as in mathematics. In other words, Locke maintains that good actions tend to cause pleasure while bad action tends to cause pain. For Locke, morality is the law of God, and God supports his laws with sanctions.
