Write a 350 words high level reflection on the lecture material and readings (Paul Formosa: ‘Evils, Wrongs and Dignity: How to Test a Theory of Evil’, Journal of Value Inquiry, 2013), and to draw connections with other units studied in philosophy.
-reflections on the knowledge acquired through the study of philosophy, skills developed through the program of study, and philosophical values.
Discuss the following questions:
What do moral theories try to do? What are the limitations of, and alternatives to, moral theorising?
What are some of the problems and limitations with the process of reflective equilibrium? What is the upshot of achieving reflective equilibrium?
Can you think of some counter-examples to Formosa’s theory of evil? Can you offer a better alternative?
There’s a sample of the reflection attached. Feel free to also add more creative elements. For example link to artworks or other images, cartoons etc, that had connections with the topics, as well as references to articles from philosophy, other disciplines, or media etc.
