Reflection on Utilitarianism Versus Virtue Ethics
This was the paper where I was finally able to get my true thoughts onto paper and express my opinions and arguments in favor of utilitarianism. I was more than eager to write this paper, and the product of weeks of research is an argumentative philosophical paper that I feel is more than enough to sway a questioning virtue ethics believer. Especially in the fact that virtue ethics is largely narrow-minded, I felt that it was important to emphasize the disparity of thought between the two philosophies presented. Although utilitarianism is not as free-thinking as moral relativism, it nevertheless is effective in providing answers to complex questions and situations.
