I enjoyed the video. Even though there’s a part 2, this one already feels quite complete. I noticed it doesn’t have much background music, which I find more interesting as it allows me to focus more on what you're explaining. See you next!
The problem with deontological ethics is that the rules are arbitrary. The problem with collectivistic ethical systems like utilitarianism and that of Aristotle and Confucius is that they essentially make the individual the property of the group. If you're a utilitarian, your self esteem may be based on how your actions affect others.
What is arbitrary about deontological duties? e.g. in Kantian deontology?
@@noincognito1903 The rules are supposed to exist as ends in of themselves rather than as means to an end.
@@darthutah6649 No, the rules are a categorical imperative. They're supposed to be grounded in reason and so apply to any rational being. Any ends are generated by people. I guess you could say those ends are arbitrary, but the ends people decide upon have no bearing on the rules. You can think that grounding fails, but it isn't arbitrary.
Separately, in the context of modern deontology it would make more sense to talk about duties rather than rules, but that doesn't really change this convo
epic video
25:43 “[Moral Systems] imposes a set of rules that restrict individual expression in the name of societal good”
I think your video is very interesting and I’m super new to the field of philosophy and ethics so it’s a wonderful history and lesson on ethical theory. I do have one lingering question though, in the timestamp I quoted it sounds like you place individual expression over societal good why; and wouldn’t the concept of individual expression as argued by many enlightenment thinkers just be another spook? In the “real” individual expression is stifled all the time, so why look towards this specific “other” and hold it as the only non-spook?
Ditto, plus I'm unsure why we need to necessarily view ethical systems as an external law. E.g. for deontology if morality is in alignment with our own reason, internally recognized and enforced, how is it an external law
Great video, thankyou!
Thoughts on the "Inner Child"?
Can we say that Stirner is a pragmatic philosopher ?
I was going to say that Ethics are like. The Spook. The most obvious go to example of a spook. But like, meh, you made a whole video about it and I'm just some nerd who didn't make a video about it, so I guess you get the last laugh.
Bro I’m taking a course in ethics perfect timing. Or is that a spook?
