Divine Command Theory – Fresh AiR – S02:E02:C09

What is Divine Command Theory? This is generally applied to the Abrahamic god speaking of Judeo-Christian morality but could technically be applied to any set of rules or morals that come from a Divine being. One of the key problems with DCT is that for it to be valid we need to prove that deity…

Rule Utilitarianism – Fresh AiR – S02:E02:C08

What is Rule Utilitarianism? Rule Utilitarianism is just like Act Utilitarianism but with a twist. It is deontological.

How does that work? What are the differences? Find Out,…

Hedonism – Fresh AiR – S02:E02:C03

Hedonism? That’s Just About Feeling Good Right? Tonight we kick off our look into individual moral theories. We start down a path of consequentialist moral theories with hedonism.
