Discussion Post: Philosophy
As we have seen, in formal logic, a good argument has true premises and a conclusion that follows from the premises, either necessarily or very likely. Use your knowledge of arguments to discuss the following situation: There is a trolley coming down the tracks and ahead, there are five people tied to the tracks and one person on a side track who are unable to move. The trolley will continue run and will kill the five people. There is nothing you can do to rescue the five people except that there is a lever. If you pull the lever, the train will be directed to the side track, which has only one person tied to it. Discuss your choices. Choose an option. And give a good argument to support your choice.
The response should include a reference list. One-inch margins, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
