'Moral philosophy\r'

'In the enter entitled ‘liar liar’ indite by Paul Guay and Stephen Mazur, there several(prenominal) charaters who feature. These include such(prenominal) lot as Fletcher Reede’s acting as poke C ary, Justin cooper acting as Max, Maura Tierney as Reed’s estranged wife, and Jenniffer Tilly among others (www.totalfilm.com ).\r\nThe picture is about smooth-talking attorney and habitual liar, homosexualipulating his behavior to the helm of his job a local anaesthetic law company through sweet great ch everyenging encases. In the phase of the film we find his countersign celebrating his ordinal birthday. The son is seen at unrivalled condemnation trying to encourage his father to lies.   This is beca wont it is visualized that this master(prenominal) reference has lived and earned his passage through lies.\r\nIt is non clear whether that he get out be able to lucre a case involving a character by the name Samantha Cole whose cases i s on infidelity. The main character is also approach with the challenge of stopping his ex-wife taking his son to live with her in Boston. Through the covering of lies Carrey survives in his c areer without the tissue of lies on which his career depends.\r\nIn the mental picture Liar Liar, though clouded in ludicrous laughter, there are several incidences whereby whatever acts are portrayed as im incorrupt. The main character in this film in his endeavors to push his career up, he did near affaires which proved to be im honorableistic. He pursued his cases ground on a web of lies which worked wonders for. Though to him this was a success the acts were in themselves immoral.\r\nBased on Kant’s moral philosophy which states that an action is immoral not by virtue of its consequences but by the actual intentions of the actions. Kant further argued that moral requirements are ground on a beat of rationality which he describes as â€Å" compressed Imperative† (CI). In this case crime will entail a trespass of the categorical imperative and is indeed not rational (http://www.uchile.cl/bioetica/doc/honesty.htm).\r\nTo be tasteful to the point, it is clear that we are commanded to exercise our wills in a particular manner and not to do some actions or others. It is therefore categorical in the course of applying to us unreservedly, or merely because we possesses rational wills. This is honest because without indication to any ends that we might or might not ask (http://www.uchile.cl/bioetica/doc/honesty.htm).\r\nLike his predecessors, Kant argues that moral requirements are establish on standards of rationality which are every desire-based instrumental article of faiths of rationality or based on pother rational intuitions.\r\n consort to the film the main character acts against his avocation of being honest to his clients and the public. This is against his duty to which he is called to. According to Kant, this is the only moral motive. In order to act morally volume should to what is right guided by a sense of duty (www.answerbag.co.uk/q_view/398707).\r\nTo conclude the movie gives us a picture of how people behave during their day to day life. During such times they go about doing things which to them are perceived as moral so far in actual sense do not constitute morality. The philosopher in this case i.e. Kant gives the true picture of what is moral and not moral.\r\nWorks cited\r\nTruth and true professional, obtainable at:\r\n http://www.uchile.cl/bioetica/doc/honesty.htm, assessed on April 6, 2008\r\nKant: the moral order, addressable at:\r\nhttp://www.uchile.cl/bioetica/doc/honesty.htm, assessed on April 6, 2008\r\nWhat is the basis of your moral philosophy?, available at:\r\nwww.answerbag.co.uk/q_view/398707 †65k †assessed on April 6, 2008\r\nLiar Liar †film review, available at:\r\nwww.totalfilm.com, assessed on April 6, 2008\r\nMoral Philosophy\r\nI come back that moral phi losophy of Jeremy Bentham is the best conform to for commerce and decision-making. Bentham’s philosophy is based on three conventions of the greatest happiness, universal joint egoism and artificial identification of one’s busys. His philosophy is also referred to as utilitarianism. For example, Bentham argues: â€Å"By the formula of value is meant that principle which approves or disapproves of every action whatsoever, consort to the tendency which it appears to have to augment or diminish the happiness of the party whose interest is in question: or, what is the same thing in other words, to promote or to oppose that happiness”.\r\nI sound off that in our tough and often antagonistic descent environment it is better to be universal egoism because in such a personal manner you remain quick and steadfast defending your positions at the commercialize place. The principle of greatest happiness throw out be interpreted in the way that companyâ€℠¢s success makes leaders happy. Actually, Bentham philosophy is rational and logical, therefore, it is the best worthy for our rational world. Bentham emphasizes the usableness of things and actions meaning that everything should have its own place and purpose because it will lead to general happiness.\r\nBentham approach is intrinsicistic as he promotes universal hedonism. He assumes that the primary motivators are pleasure and pain. The same is in business †when pain is felt, lead and team do their best to redress the pain. Bentham also argues that humans are forever and a day seeking for the greatest happiness because their interests are interrelated with interests of other humans. Bentham’s moral philosophy held the advantage as the principle of utility is very popular. Compared to other principles, the principle of utility is very velar and enables decisions to be made where there is a ingest to solve the conflict of legitimate interests. Bentham’s ph ilosophy is a fundamental fealty to human equality. Bentham’s principle of utility suggests that â€Å"one man is worth fairish the same as another man”.\r\nReferences\r\nJeremy Bentham.

Moreover, Hume argues that ethics should make up important role in decision-making process as it gives thinkers an opportunity to make such a decision won’t oppose anybody’s suggestions or preferences.\r\nHe says that moral agent is motivated by character traits which nature is either upright or vicious. If a person is unforced to donate money or things for charity, his actions are motivated by v irtuous traits. In business decision-making, he notes, such traits should be natural and instinctive, and only in such person will make truly ethical decisions. Hume’s moral philosophy is distinct and exact. (Fieser 2006)\r\nFor example, Hume clearly divides qualities into virtuous and vice. The natural virtues are meekness, generosity, charity and benevolence, whereas artificial or vice virtues are chastity, greediness, dishonesty, and keeping promises. It seems that Hume places qualities indispensable for a well-ordered states as artificial. I think that in such a way he wants to show that business and decision-making should natural and instinctive.\r\nAgents are provided with psychological roles, though in certain situation a person may refer to more than than entrusted role. (Fieser 2006) David Hume concludes that there are four categories of qualities essential for moral business running and decision-making:\r\n1.      Qualities useful for others: chari ty, fidelity, meekness, and benevolence;\r\n2.      Qualities useful for oneself: patience and doggedness;\r\n3.      Qualities agreeable to others: cleanliness, eloquence, and wit;\r\n4.      Qualities agreeable to oneself: pride, humor, and self-esteem.\r\nActually, David Hume discusses all the qualities which are considered the core of adequate business running. It is necessary to mention that to make unfeignedly ethical decision means to use trained sensitivity to ethical issues. (Fieser 2006)\r\nReferences\r\nFieser, Jame. (2006). Hume’s Moral Theory.
