    Good Evening sir, Student of you from last year batch. As a civil servant, I will focus on right means first to get the right ends but if ends is related to larger picture like national security or internal security, I will make compromise with means. This is how I will try to make balance between two. I don’t know it is right or not. But this my current thought process.

      Hi, nice to see you here…national interest situations are exceptional cases where means argument usually never holds as it is all about greater good. But in routine situations a public servant is expected to keep the means clean and the ends good.

    Sir ❤
    The means are the end in making. Means and ends are inseparable. An end cannot be justified independently of its means. It must validate itself through certain parameters. For Gandhi, that parameter is whether the right path was followed. If so, then the ends are inherently good.
    The principle 'what we sow is what we reap' applies. Good ends cannot be achieved through bad means. For instance, a new nation cannot experience sustainable peace if its very foundation was laid through compromised means, such as violence, instead of non-violence.

    Thank you sir for this wonderful session.
    Sir, As a civil servant, its our moral responsibility to follow right means for achieving good results. However, if strict adherence to these rules (means) are causing significant harm or preventing significant good, then one must follow the approach of threshold deontology for having desirable results (i.e wrong action can be morally justified if its consequences surpasses the certain level of seriousness)
    For e.g Mother Teresa had accepted donation from the people who were corrupted, for serving humanity . Also, Dr. APJ Abdul kalam made India nuclear power, who himself was very peaceful president and human being.
    Hence, threshold deontology balances the approach of rigid deontology with flexible teleology, to reach at morally justified action.

    • @ethics101
      @ethics101  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for the perspective of threshold deontology. Makes sense. You started with civil servants but ended with Mother Teresa…that’s quite a range… wish you had given a civil service example.

    I think it depends on situation, as to what to be given more emphasis
    Like , Bhagwaan Ram followed all the rules of war during war with Ravana (means oriented) .
    However he did not followed the same in war with Bali (end oriented).
    Thus it depends on situation.

    Sir , can we say that means and end are depends on priority.
    For example , in Kurukshetra war Arjun followed his duty. He gave priority to his duty( Deontology).
    And in 1976 , Sanjay Gandhi initiated a compulsory sterilization program to limit population growth. He focused on ends ( Consequentialism).

    What can be right means to balance both the terms and then probable examples be used in this?? ..
    -- Quotes & Philosophers of both the domains :: deontologist & Consequentialist.... Will it be sufficient or we need to apply the PESTEL approach and what else? in such type of answers and case studies... Please guide in this🙏 regard..

    • @ethics101
      @ethics101  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Frankly, I haven’t understood the first part of the question, “balancing both the terms”
      Further, ends and means are basic concepts of ethics which can be explained using philosophers and their ideas the way I have done in the video using Mill & Kant.
      Further, the usefulness of the concept in case studies is while developing options for the issues. The options can be end focused or means focused.
      I wonder who advised you about PESTLE approach for resolving ethical dilemmas. PESTLE is used in corporate settings as a strategic decision making tool. I don’t think it will be useful for upsc 250 words case studies where questions are precise and specific.
