What is Peter Singer’s argument in support of such a duty? How does John Arthur respond? Which of their arguments do you find most persuasive and why? 2. Is physician-assisted suicide morally permissible? Why or why not? What position would a Kantian adopt with respect to this issue? A utilitarian? Do you agree with either view? Engage with both James Rachels’ and Daniel Callahan’s arguments. Which of the two makes a better case? Why? 3. What is Walter Sinnott-Armstrong’s argument for what he presents as the proper response to the issue of global climate change? How can he say both (a) that it’s not wrong to drive wastefully and yet (b) that people who drive wastefully should feel guilty for doing so? Critically evaluate his view. How, and by what argument, does Marion Hourdequin respond? Whose position do you think is more compelling? Why?   4. Lawrence Blum argues that we shouldn’t just talk about racism–we should also talk about racial insensitivity, failure to recognize racial identity, racial ignorance, racial anxiety, racial injustice, and racial homogenization, suggesting that these phenomena, although worthy of concern, are not instances of “racism.” But are these just different aspects of racism? How does Kelly & Roedder’s research on the morality of implicit bias challenge or undermine Blum’s argument? Critically discuss these authors’ views and your own.5. What, in your view, is the moral status of abortion? How does Don Marquis arrive at the conclusion that abortion is (in most circumstances) seriously immoral? Does his argument effectively counter Judy Jarvis Thomson’s defense of abortion? Why or why not? What, exactly, is Thomson’s defense of abortion, and how does it differ from the strategy adopted by Rosalind Hursthouse? Whose argument do you find more compelling?    Arts & Humanities Philosophy PHL 205 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
