Imagine you’re waiting in line at the grocery store and you crack open a book called A Little History of Ethics to pass the time. Soon the person behind you asks, “What are you reading?”
Now imagine you have to explain to your fellow shopper a little bit about the following topics: philosophy, ethics, and three key philosophers (or their ideas). How can these philosophers (or their ideas) help you to live a better or more reflective life at home, at work, at school, around town, and so on? Here you can offer real life scenarios to make your three points.
The philosophical ideas you’ll discuss can be ethical ones. Or they could deal with topics related to ethics, such as God, good vs. evil, the meaning of life, commitment, compassion, and so on.
