Question

Greg reasons "I can't cheat. I need a good grade but knowledge is the most important thing. I must try." Which philosophy best depicts Greg's reasoning?

Answer 1

Answer:

Kantian Ethics

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

• Egoism
• Act utility
• Rule utility
• Kantian Ethics

In this example, Greg is employing Kantian ethics to deal with this question. Kantian ethics are an example of a deontological moral theory. This means that an act is wrong or right not based on the consequence of the act, but based on whether this act fulfills our duty or not. In this example, Greg argues that he "must try." This is the duty he has to fulfill. Therefore, the way in which he thinks about morality is based on duties, and whether these apply to him or not.
