Building and Applying Natural Ethics

  Order Description       After reading and thinking about the texts fully, consider if Natural Ethics is a normative theory. Remember, normative theories tell us how we ought to live. Does Natural Ethics tell us how to live? If so, what are its principles? Bentham had the Hedonic Calculator, Kant the Categorical Imperatives, Aristotle had Eudaimonia. These texts do not spell out a specific set of normative principles so it is your job to write them. 1. write your principles of Natural Ethics. After you write your principles, defend where you got the idea by using the texts. Quoting from the texts is appropriate in this exercise and also give some explanation.       2. In addition, in roughly 2 pages, apply your principles to Singer's book Ethics of What We Eat (will upload). When you are applying your discussion principles, you do not need to cover every industry in Singer's book; however, you may need to do more than one section to best demonstrate your principles. Since you will be receiving feedback from your classmates on your principles in the discussion, you are able to modify your list during this phase.
