• It is discussing a more general topic than just the professional ethics of engineers.

  • Good point (blu3mo)(blu3mo)

• Plato

  • He talks about the harmony of the soul with the idea of goodness.
    • I can’t really agree with that.
    • Hmm, I don’t understand how it can be implemented.
      • Also, it contradicts the assumption of absolute justice in the argument.
  • In another source, there is also the claim that it refers to something that can be agreed upon.
    • In terms of artificial reality, justice collapses (blu3mo).

• Aristotle

  • He criticizes Plato and says that there are various goods in each case.
    • Isn’t this relativism? He claims that there is a unique good in each case.
    • That good is achieving the “purpose” in that case.
      • Teleology, judging goodness based on results.
  • The purpose of humans = good is happiness.
    • This seems to have utilitarianism in it? (blu3mo)
  • Virtue ethics
    • This becomes more about personal ethics, so it seems less relevant to the argument (blu3mo).

• Kant

  • Deontological ethics
  • Only the intention of an action becomes the basis of goodness.
    • Intent is more important than the outcome.
  • Definition of “rightness”
    • Ah

• Bentham

• Mill
