Natural Law Theory and Divine Command Theory.
Write a 4-6 page essay that critically applies 2 moral theories from this course to a contemporary moral issue. Your essay should provide an informative explanation of the moral theories you are applying, as well as an explanation of a contemporary moral issue of your choice.
Then, you must critically apply these moral theories to that contemporary issue. A good critical application will either synthesize the moral theories into a single, coherent applied ethics approach to that issue; offer a compare and contrast analysis of each theory’s effectiveness when applied to that issue; or offer criticisms of each theory’s approach to that issue. Most importantly, this essay should have a thesis that you argue for. Your thesis should be some sort of evaluative opinion that serves as the culmination of your critical application. Typically, a thesis will address the following question: “What specific moral judgments can we make about the application of these moral theories to a contemporary moral issue?”

1. What are three respects in which the study of philosophy differs from the study of, for example, biology? (The question refers to Video 1. I am not asking how philosophy differs from, say, biology. I am asking how THE STUDY of philosophy differs from THE STUDY of, for example, biology.)
2. What three things does Sober say that philosophers do? (Oddly, Sober refers to these as ‘Three Theories about Philosophy.’)
3. Is Euthyphro’s father, in your view, guilty of murder? I repeat: MURDER. Why or why not?
4. Why is Socrates dissatisfied with Euthyphro’s first answer to ‘What is piety?’ (The answer is found at 5e – 6d of the dialogue.)
5. If you don’t give your money to help those who are hungry, as the man who gave everything would, does that mean you’re selfish, and hence immoral? Why or why not? (Your answer should indicate something about your understanding of the nature of morality.)
