What I Expect To Learn:

-to know what is justice?

-to know how it affects the people?

-to know the importance of the theory?

Quote:

“In justice as fairness, the original position of equality corresponds to the state of nature in the traditional theory of the Social Contract”

Review

In this theory, Rawls give importace to justice. According to Rawls justice have two principles” First “Each person is to have an equal right to the most extensive basic liberty compatible with similar liberty for others”, Second principle talks to” Social and economic inequalities are to be managed so that they are both reasonably expected to be everyone’s advantage and attached to positions and offices spent to all”

This two principle has its own distinction. The first theory talks about the equal rights of the people when it comes to the bsaic liberties like political liberty, liberty of conscience, freedom of speech, freedom of though and other previlleges required to be all equal according to the first principle. And the second principle discussed the eqaul distribution of income and wealth. The desigm of the organizations make use the differences in authority. This also set equal access to all. It was said in the article that ” The thoery of justice depends on the theory of society” which means in my perception that it depends on the society itself on how they will handle and imposed the justice that Rawls is trying to justify.

What I’ve Learned:

-justice depends upon the theory of the society you belong

-Justice is all baout fairness

Integrated Questions:

1. What are the two principle of justice?
2. How this two principle related to each other?

What I Expect to Learn:

-To know how we should take our rights seriously

-To identify some of our rights

-To know why we should take our rights seriously

Quote:

“…If people have a right to do something, then it is wrong to interfere with them“

Review

In this article it discussed thte “right” of a person. Every person has its own right. If you have the right to do so something, it is wrong for someone to interfere with your rights. Dworkin in this ethical theory state the ‘strong sense of right’ where people can’t interfere or hinder your certain rights to do something even if they think that it is the wring thing to do. But this certain rights needs to comply with a certain law. People has moral rights and these morals rights according to this theory was made into legal rights by the constitution. If people insists their own strong sense of rights, believing that their rights is right or correct it will mean that the government or the law will do wrong if they stop a certain person in doing what he think is right..

Moral Rights and Legal Rights was compared to each other. If we say moral rights it is what we think is right and we should do this while legal rights are what the constitution or the government has to imposed that every person should follow and have it equally. This Theory includes the involvement of the government of individual rights of a person. Since it’s the government who sets and imposes the legal rights, they should not cheat instead they should take it seriuosly.

Things I’ve Learned:

-The ‘right’ to do something is different from saying that it is the right thing to do

-Every person has its own moral rights but insisting your moral rights shoul corresponds to the legal rights or constitution

Integrative Questions:

1. What is a strong sense?
2. What is legal rights?
3. What is moral rights?
4. Why do government needs to take rights seriously?

What I Expect to Learn:

o know the value of rights

o know how to value rights

o identify the relation of Nature to Rights

Qoute:

“A legal duty is not something we are implored or advised to do merely; it is something the law, or authority under the law requires us to do whether we want to or not, under a pain of penalty“

Review:

The article discussed several topics about duty and some notions of personal dessert and sovereign monopoly of rights. Before Feinberg go directly to the topic he makes the reader to imagine a world called ‘Nowheresville’, where no has the rights.

In this Article Feinberg integrated Kant’s principle about ‘moral worth’- that develops from the thought that is is ‘required by duty’. Here duty was also given importance in relation to Nature and Value of Rights. But before that he gave a brief introduction about the ‘doctrine of logical correlativity of rights and duties’. And it was said that 1.) all duties entail other people’s right, 2.) rights entail other people’s duties. This principle is somehow true base on a certain scenario. The bottomline is duty is related to rights of other people and vice versa. Wherein duty is related to actions that are due someone else or an action that we must and requires as to do.

While Discussing the duties, he allso tackled the two notions about ‘personal dessert’ and ‘sovereign monopoly of rights’. First the personal dessert is simply the fittingness between one person’s character or action and another person’s favorable response. In my understanding this first notion is simply giving back tha goodness that the other person do to us or what we called ‘gratitude’. In a certain scenario based on the article, if the deserved reward was not given the person has no right to complaint because he only deserved the reward and he has no right to in claiming it. Second is the Sovereign Right-Monopoly. In this notion, the sovereign has the duty whether he will do good or bad in a person, but this duty was owed to God and not to the person directly. If the soveriegn harm the person, that person can’t complaint against his conduct because he was the one who ruled and has the power againts them.

What I’ve Learned:

• Duty are the things that is required or an action that we must do
• In personal dessert we have a choice in returning back the goodness that the other person gave to us or not, but since it is right to give response to the good thing the other has done and this is what we called the fittingness between two parties, the showing of ‘gratitude’

Integrated Question:

1. What is duty?
2. What is personal Dessert?
3. What is Soverreign Right-Monopoly?
4. What is the docttrine of the logical correlativity of rights and duties?
5. In Personal Dessert notion, differentiate deserved reward and having a right to it?

What I Expect to Learn:

-To have a clear understanding about the the meaning and implication of Categorical Imperative

Quotes:

“It is impossible to conceive things at all in the world or even out of it which can be taken as good without qualification, except as good will“

Review:

The article discussed about the good will, the good will and it’s result; the good will and duty; and also the difference between Hypothetical Imperative and Categorical Imperative.

The good will is baout how we handle ourselves, the gift of nature, our takens and gifts of future in doing what is good. The qualities are good and desirable as the qualities of temperant which means one’s natural disposition, but if the will is not good and it creates a harmful and bad effects to others, this is where the ‘character’ of a person comes in. But the feeling of being contended and it also completes your well being was calles your ‘happiness’. Good will is not good because of its effects but it is good by its willing to do or ir is its nature itself. in any good will we do it alsways has its duty to perform. It was said that preserving one’s life is a duty. We protect our life in conformity with duty and not from the motive of duty. Motive of duty is where you know that your should do this good act becuase it is part of your duty.

There’s a difference between hypothetical imperative and categorical imperative. Hypothetical Imperative is what you don’t know before and its contains before until the condition was given. While the Categorical Imperative, you know at once what is the contain.

What I have Learned:

-Good will is not always resulted from the good thigs we do

-We should be careful of our actions based on our maxim until the time it becomes a universal law

Integrative Question:

1. What is Good Will?

2. What is the difference between hypothetical and categorical?

3. How was hapinnes resulted?
