    Extractions: Morality/Ethics A Philosophical Discussion of the Basis for Contemporary Moral Choices The following paper is an attempt by the author to clarify his thoughts about the basis for making moral choices. As such it may be of interest to others thinking about this problem. Merwin Sibulkin AN EMPIRICAL APPROACH TO MORALITY Abstract The objective of this paper is to offer an approach to morality which can assist those who do not subscribe to the authority of a religious text to address contemporary moral problems. The paper is divided into three sections. In the first section a very brief outline is given of three of the most widely discussed theories of morality in the British-American literature: utilitarianism, deontology and Rawls' version of social contract theory. Their basic premises are mentioned, and some of the major objections raised against each of the theories are presented. The second section presents an empirical approach to morality based upon three explicitly state premises. We raise the questions of why an individual should act morally and how others can be persuaded to act morally. In response a distinction is proposed between prima facie self-interest and overall self-interest and applied to those questions. In section three we try to illustrate how to apply the approach developed above to some contemporary moral questions.

    Extractions: Good People Genre Poem Keywords Abandonment Acculturation Catastrophe Empathy ... Survival Summary The speaker muses about his assumptionwhich he now believes to be incorrectthat "any person with normal feelings" or who was well-educated would understand "pain when it went on before them / and would do something about it." He tries to explain why, in fact, this does not happen. Perhaps "it escapes their attention" or perhaps . . . . The speaker enumerates his vision of massive slaughter and destructionof children, animals, " victims under the blankets." [20 lines] Commentary In this short poem, the speaker addresses the question of how we can tolerate the suffering around us. Don't we have an impulse and an obligation to take action when we see another individual in pain? Why do we fail to do this? Are we simply unaware, or are we overwhelmed by massive suffering? Or, he implies, mankind is really too bestial and murderous to care.

    Extractions: About W. S. Merwin Jay Parini M erwin was born in New York City and grew up in Union City, New Jersey, and Scranton, Pennsylvania. His father was a Presbyterian minister. 'I started writing hymns for my father as soon as I could write at all', Merwin has said. He attended Princeton University, where he studied writing with John Berryman and R. P. Blackmur, to whom his fifth book, The Moving Target (1963), was dedicated. Merwin spent a postgraduate year at Princeton studying Romance languages, an interest that would lead, eventually, to his much-admired work as a translator of Latin, Spanish, and French poetry. Having left Princeton, Merwin travelled in France, Spain, and England. He settled in Majorca in 1950 as a tutor to Robert Graves's son. Graves, with his interest in mythology, would become a primary influence on young Merwin. Moving to London in 1951, Merwin made his living as a translator for several years. Meanwhile, back in America, his first book of poems won the Yale Series of Younger Poets Award for 1952, selected by W. H. Auden, who remarked in his introduction on the young poet's technical virtuosity. That volume, A Mask for Janus
