"The reducio ad absurdum of modern Christendom that rejects the precedential truth of Orthodox Judaism and Historic Christianity has produced an anoetic faith that contains only the foci of wishful thinking."

New Concepts Of Ethics, Philosophy And Spirituality
Thoughts On Man's Origin and Cosmic Purpose a philosophy for thenew millennium, by Frank Velek Frank Velek has just completed
http://members.tripod.com/~FRANKVELEK/

Extractions: Thoughts On Man's Origin and Cosmic Purpose - a philosophy for the new millennium, by Frank Velek Frank Velek has just completed a new essay - BEING- Does God Exist?. Please follow the link below to read. This essay futher explains the concept of BEING, and gives a logical and novel discourse about the "supreme consciousness" and Man's unique relationship. We wish to take the time to thank the many people who have taken the time to respond to this project, people of like thought and people with diverging views. The essays by author/poet/philosopher Frank Velek, pertaining to mankind's role, destiny and obligation to our universe, and the relationship of man with the "supreme entity" are very provocative and we do encourage all responses. Please also enjoy the poetry selections by Frank, they pertain to the general philosophy put forth in the essays, on a more personal level, and there are also a couple of "love" poems. The continuation of the discourse on BEING and the ramifications of undoing are underway at present; the next essay that will be published on-line will be Part 2 of the Happiness series, dealing with more contemporary philosophers. Mr. Velek's well researched philosophical account of man's purpose is a must read for anyone who has asked the questions: "What is the reason for our existence?", "How can a perfect God allow suffering of innocents?", or "How can we survive the New Millennium?"

Extractions: Johan Modée - Philosopher Home About me Contact Me Writing Samples Field Work Pictures Why Philosophy? Today, in our complex globalized world, we need philosophy as a critical tool more than ever. Ignorance of the analytical skills and techniques of contemporary analytical philosophy prevents a sound development of society because it leaves us in a situation based on arbitrary opinions and fuzzy descision-making. Therefore, I submit that democracy, freedom, and human creativity need philosophy as a rational guide and a tool. Now and for the future. In need of philosophical skills? As a professional philosopher, I'm an expert in the analysis of any kind of argument, presentation or argumentative text. Or of a text/presentation where you want to state something of importance. I check coherence, logical soundness and validity, and rhetorical force. I am also a skilled teacher in philosophy. Moreover, I'm co-editor of the Swedish art/culture journal Hjärnstorm " ("Brainstorm")

Feminist Ethics
From the Stanford Encyclopedia of philosophy, an essay on the history and ideas of feminist ethics.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/feminism-ethics/

Extractions: AUG Feminist Ethics Feminists have developed a wide variety of women-centered approaches to ethics, including those labeled "feminine," "maternal," and "lesbian." Each of these approaches to ethics highlights the differences between men's and women's respective situations in life- biological and social; provides strategies for dealing with issues that arise in private as well as public life; and offers action guides intended to undermine rather than bolster the present systematic subordination of women (Jaggar, "Feminist Ethics," 1992). Considered together the overall aim of all feminist approaches to ethics, irrespective of their specific labels, is to create a gender-equal ethics, a moral theory that generates non-sexist moral principles, policies, and practices. Feminist approaches to ethics, as well as debates about the allegedly gendered nature of morality, are not contemporary developments. A variety of eighteenth and nineteenth-century thinkers like Mary Wollstonecraft, John Stuart Mill, Catherine Beecher, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton all discussed what is probably best termed "women's morality." Each of these thinkers pondered questions such as: Are women's psychological feminine traits all natural? Or is it only women's

Extractions: Scholarship I think it is important for us to consider what we believe, why we believe it, the implications and possible contradictions in what we believe, and to remain open to growth and development. In my view this is one of the most important areas of this curriculum. A charge often brought against Pagans is that we have no ethical or moral boundaries. Pagans are often viewed a hedonists who are out only for their on pleasure and their own gain. Even some of my atheist friend who realize that I'm not involved with any 'devil' have asserted that goal of magic is only to try to gain selfish control over a situation. It is because of these stereotypes that it is most important that Pagans become familiar with our ethical principles, and to act accordingly. Anyone who is suspicious of your Pagan religion will be watching you closely and your behavior may be influential in either confirming their stereotyped attitude or in changing it.

20th WCP: Virtue Ethics (Not Too) Simplified
Article by Philip Cafaro presented at the 20th World Congress of philosophy.
http://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/TEth/TEthCafa.htm

Extractions: Southwest State University ABSTRACT: There are two basic types of ethical judgments: deontological judgements that focus on focus on duty and obligation and eudaimonist judgements that focus on human excellence and the nature of the good life. I contend that we must carefully distinguish these two types of judgement and not try to understand one as a special case of the other. Ethical theories may be usefully divided into two main kinds, deontological or eudaimonist, on the basis of whether they take one of the other of these types of judgement as primary. A second important contention, which this paper supports but does not attempt to justify fully, is that neither type of theory trumps the other, nor should we subsume them under some more encompassing ethical synthesis. Introduction: Virtue Ethics Ethical theories may be usefully divided into two main types, deontological or eudaimonist, on the basis of whether they take one or the other of these kinds of judgments as primary. In the main, ancient ethical theories were eudaimonist in both form and content (in the kinds of judgments and terms they took as primary, and in the questions they spent the most time investigating). Most modern ethical theories have been deontological, again in both form and content.
Woodhill Publishing: Purpose Of Life, A Book On Philosophy / Ethics / Evolution
The Purpose of Life is summarised. This is a book on the philosophy of values and ethics from a viewpoint of evolution or sociobiology.
http://www.woodhillpublishing.co.uk

Extractions: The Purpose of Life is an entirely non-mystical solution to the problem of moral philosophy derived with the aid of current ideas in biology and mathematical decision theory. Dr Cameron makes the ambitious claim to have solved the problem, for the first time providing objective answers to questions of values and ethics. Statements about value, purpose or morality are fundamentally different from statements about fact and scientific attempts to prove them from premises of fact must fail. The philosophers' principle that you cannot derive an "ought" from an "is" is valid. A value conclusion cannot be drawn from premises consisting only of facts. There must be at least one value premise. This result has been used by philosophers as a licence to pull complex value statements out of their culturally conditioned feelings before applying reasoning to them. The author uses a different approach. That is to seek the most basic, self-evident axioms of value. These are (a) to wish not to hold contradictory beliefs about values, (b) to reject nihilism (the idea that nothing matters at all) and (c) to wish one's values not to be a result of random accidental events, but to have a source of information. The only source of non-random information, which has created human values, including the human instinct to build an ethical culture, is the force of natural selection. The fact of evolution and, in particular, the modern analyses of the evolution of altruism and social behaviour are essential to understand any philosophy of values. It is astonishing that so many investigators of ethics have felt able to ignore them.
20th WCP: Does Hume Have An Ethics Of Virtue? Some Observations On Character And
Article by Marcia L. Homiak presented at the 20th World Congress of philosophy, which argues that Hume's ethics is best seen as a virtue ethics.
http://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Mode/ModeHomi.htm

Extractions: homiak@oxy.edu ABSTRACT: I am interested in the general question of how to characterize Hume's ethics, in particular, in whether Hume can be seen to offer some version of a virtue ethics. Let me first explain what I take a virtue ethics to be. For a virtue ethics, the central question is: "What kind of person should I be?" rather than "What action ought I to perform?" A virtue ethics is agent-centered in the priority it gives to being a virtuous person (or to having a virtuous character) over doing the moral action. Yet this priority has proven difficult to articulate and defend, since it looks as though character traits can be specified in terms of principles defining the kinds of action in which traits are expressed. If so, a virtuous person is simply someone who acts in accordance with particular principles. Individual virtues, such as courage, then become derivative : they are secondary to the defining and governing principles of action, which are determined by practical reason.
