Ethical Roadmap

An Ethical Roadmap is a winding path through different philosophical landscapes from Aristotle's virtue ethics to Mill's utilitarianism. For many, the modern path is a holistic approach to ethics, avoiding fear-based systems and embracing good intent and good results. Along the path, people reflect on their actions, evaluate their motivations, and measure their results to guide future acts as one journeys through moral decisions.

Ethical Roadmap

30 Phil, Chapter 27: From Aristotle’s virtue to Mill’s greatest happiness, ethical systems have explored both sides of the “good intent-good results” approach to morality. In modern philosophy, most have decided there is no single rule to ethics. For many, a holistic approach is the key. The basic idea is to understand and avoid fear-based ethical systems while embracing the two-tong approach of good intent and good results. For example, your actions should come from a place of good intent, but you should also evaluate your motivations and measure your results to alter and guide future acts.
