Question

Finley wants to make as many people happy as possible. He steals from a greedy ceo in order to give money to a large number of peiple. Which philosophy of ethics is applicable. Social justice virtue kantianism utilitRanism

Answer 1

Answer:

Utilitarianism.

Explanation:

Utilitarianism is a term or philosophy of ethics that describes the belief or view that, an action is considered morally right if it resulted in goodness, more pleasure, or happiness than bad, pain, or unhappiness.

Hence, in this case, Finley believes, stealing in itself is neither bad nor good; what renders it bad or good is the effects it generates. Thus, stealing from a greedy CEO, whom he believes has less need for the money, and gives the money to a large number of people whom he thinks to need money can be justified based on the calculation that the benefits of the theft outweigh the losses caused by the theft.

Therefore, the right answer is UTILITARIANISM
