Ethics
3 Questions
1. Isn’t it possible that even though two people do the same thing, with different motives, one could be worse? In Billy Budd it says that military courts don't listen to the motive, because it is the action that they did. But, if two people have different reasons, shouldn't they be looked at differently?
2. Also, isn’t giving the same punishment wrong since different people need different punishments to react?
3. I know that this is basically a question in the book, but isn’t The Moral Insight basically the golden rule, just drawn out with more words?
