How do you apply the Doctrine of Double Effect to the trolley problem?

Social Studies

Alex73 [517]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Throwing someone into the tracks of an out of control trolley to stop it from running over five people would be wrong because it would require intentionally harming one person to save five. On the other hand, diverting the runaway trolley onto a path where one person will be killed, instead of five, would be admissible, as we may foresee that one death as an unintantional side effect.

Explanation:

The Doctrine of Double Effect, developed by St. Thomas Aquinas, allows us to better understand why we find it unacceptable to push a man onto the tracks: the good result must be a consequence of the action taken, not of the bad effect, so pulling the switch is better than pushing the man onto the tracks.

Helga [31]

Answer:

These philosophers attempted to expand the conceptions of religion, attaching aspects of reason and critical thinking. These points were the fundamental basis of the Baroque, once this period was extremely religious, but also a moment in history when science and the thought was in development, a heritage from the Renaissance. Descartes, Spinoza and Leibinz are traditionally considered as Rationalists philosophers. Each one of them believed that our knowledge born with us (Innatism).

Explanation:

As a conception of philosophical knowledge, the Rationalism began to take shape during the Renaissance, but its early origins can go back to Greek philosophy, with Platonic idealist theses and the conception of the principle of causality. For the rationalists, all the ideas we have originate from pure rationality, which also imposes an innate conception, that is, that the ideas have innate origins in the human being, being born with us in our intellect and being used and discovered by the people who they make better use of reason.

Answer:

These statements are correct.

Explanation:

It should be added that the treaty entered into force in 2012, five years after its signature. Bilateral US-South Korea is robust, but it isn´t exempted from controversy in both countries. President Donald Trump called for a revision, which was to be expected as the reduction of the American trade deficit is a main goal of his administration.
