Intro. to Ethics PHI 105 Jerry O'Connor - Instructor
Frameworks Worksheet
Section #: Name:
We are studying eight different ethical perspectives, their tenets and functionality; they are listed below. You are to give an explanation of each (including basic tenets) along with any pertinent information about them including the name(s) of the prominent philosophers responsible for the conception and development of that particular framework. Much of this information will come from your text but some will have to be found elsewhere. I don't expect an essay on each but I do expect a thorough explanation, written out, essay style. This worksheet will serve you well in the remaining units of this course. It will also be worth forty points when thoroughly completed and submitted at midterm.
Type your responses directly after each of the frameworks. This form must be used to receive any points.
Divine Command Theory: (When employing the DCT in an argument, you must always cite a specific source ie. scripture, doctrine etc. to validate your claim.)
