that what i dont get theres no right or wrong

all philosophers have diff point of views...
ex : for few of them,, morality or spirituality must b base of all our actions,,, beautiful theory but how many ppl act in such way ??
at the other hand we have philosophers who think that circomtances are much more important than MORALITY itself,,

killing is wrong,, everyone know it,, but then wot abt all saint wars, jihad... and killing at the name of law ??
so,,,,,,,,,,,,,

hannn jiiiiiiiii..
before giving ur results,, lemme give a brief def of each philosopher...

AQUINAS (1225-1274)
All life has a purpose
Meeting this purpose allows one to be happy.
Happiness is to be found in the love of God.
God's grace providing entrance into heaven creates the highest form of human happiness.
Short of heaven, a person can achieve a more limited form of happiness through a life of virtue and friendship.
Morality is not determined by the arbitrary will of God.
Morality is derived from human nature and the activities that are objectively suited to it.
The difference between right and wrong can be appreciated through the use of reason and reflection.
Religious reflection may supplement the use of reason and reflection to determine right from wrong.
Societies must enact laws to ensure the correct application of moral reasoning.
Human nature is good because God made it good.


Aristotle (384-322 BC)
The life of virtue is rewarding for the individual and the community.
The essence of a thing does not exist independent of the thing.
There is no completely universal idea of "the good."
There is an individualized ideal form for all living things.
In living in accordance with their true nature, humans will find the most enjoyment out of reasoning.
An investigation of human nature can reveal how humans ought to act.
Humans have a pre-defined purpose.
People can have variations on the best way to exist in order to meet their purpose.
The mean between the extremes of any given characteristic is the ideal.
The rule of the "Golden Mean" is not to be applied mechanically
Aristotle discusses having practical knowledge as being able to have the right means to one's action and the right ends.


Augustine (354-430)
Happiness is a union of the soul with God after one has died
Bodily pleasures are relatively inferior to spiritual pleasures.
Philosophical reasoning is not the path to wisdom and happiness.
A love of God and faith in Jesus is the only path to happiness.
God is the one to allow people to practice the love of God.
One must love God in order to fulfill moral law.
People are inherently evil; only the grace of God (or is it merit to be saved?) can save them.


Ayn Rand (1905-1982)
We should all act with our own interests as the ultimate goal of our actions.
We have free will.
Moral standards are objective, and can be known rationally


Cynicism
All the fruits of civilization are worthless
Salvation is found in a rejection of society and a return to simple ascetic living
Virtue consists in finding salvation in oneself


Kant (1724-1804)
We can make a prior judgments; the negation of such judgments would a logical absurdity because a priori knowledge is known without sensory data.
We combine a priori and a posteriori knowledge to
We have freedom
God is not essential for his moral argumentation
The objective facts about the human knowledge leads to Kant's morality
We must act ought of a sense of duty in order to be moral
Moral action does not come out of following inclinations
Moral standards must be followed without qualification
We must always act so that the means of our actions could be a universal law
We must always treat people as ends not means


Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm (1844-1900)
We have free will
There is no God
Social conformity should not hold us back
The interests of others should not restrain us
We should be passionate beings
Masculinity, strength and passion are the highest qualities in a person
Conventional morality is a crutch to man


Sartre (1905-1980)
When we choose something, we affirm the value of our choice because we have chosen it above other choices
When we choose something for ourselves, we should choose it for all people.
We must be consistent in our interpretations of moral situations regardless of whom the agent is.
Logic cannot help us specific situations
Making conscious moral choices is more significant than consistently following moral guidelines
The conflict between the interests of two people is in the end, irresolvable


Bentham, Jeremy (1748-1832)
Nature has placed humans under two states: pain and pleasure.
The words right and wrong are significant only when related to the Utilitarian principle.
Pleasures are not distinguished by quality; pleasure has quantifiable value


EPICURIANISM - Epicurus (341-270 BC)
Pleasure is the ultimate moral end
Dynamic (passionate) pleasures are bad, passive (mild) pleasures are good
The end result of pleasure is what is significant


Hume, David (1711-1776)
Reason can show us how to meet our ends, but only passions and sentiment can determine our ultimate goals.
No "is" implies an "ought."
Reason cannot give rise to moral judgments.
Humans are naturally sympathetic creatures


Mill, John Stuart (1806-1873)
The Utilitarian principle is correct when the quality of pleasures is accounted for
Liberty is the most important pleasure


Ockham, William of (1285-1349)
God's Will is the only determinant of good and evil.
Faith and revelation, not philosophizing, allow one to know good from evil


Plato (427-347)
There is reason to act justly even if one can get away with acting unjustly.
There is a single, general, pure idea of goodness that all good things possess.
There is only one model of the just person.
Justice is a harmony of the soul: intellect, emotion, and desire.
The best activity is intellectual stimulation and the most important quality is a strong intellect.
The just person is pleased, not in a state of discord.
The conflict between one's own good and the good of the community is NOT irresolvable


Spinoza, Baruch (later known as Benedictus)1632-1677
Determinist
Something must have a desirable affect on man in order to be good
Must understand determinism of the world


Stoicism
The common capacity to reason allows all humans to achieve virtue and wisdom.
The external circumstances of a person's life are irrelevant.
One can achieve virtue by becoming indifferent to external differences.
Passions must be rejected all together in deciding what is good and what is bad.
Reason alone must be used in deciding what is good and what is bad.
The common ability of humans to reason is why ethical relativism should be rejected.
