What is your opinion on moral calculus?

Question

this is to say that, as long as it makes people happy than it is "moraly justifiable"

such as to say, there is a rude ritch lady, whom will bestow her money to orphans upon her death. is it justifiable to kill her so that the children shall not suffer any longer?

Answer 1

moral calculus is bogus. try reading "On the geneology of morals" and "Beyond good and evil" to get all the answers

Answer 2

Morality and calculus ? Is this like Jews for Jesus ? Or Hanukah for Christmas kind of question ? I don't see what one has to do with the other .. but since I owe you an answer .. I'll say that I think there is enough morality around to extent itself to calculus in some kind of meta-linear construct. Good Luck ! :)

Answer 3

Everything is justifiable, it all depends on who justifying it. Everything is part of nature's balance anyway, everything happens for a reason and their is no escaping that. Even the bad, changes the world for the better. After all, we can't have good without first knowing bad, right?

Answer 4

My opinion is that this is a expansion of the ends justifies the means. I personally do not agree with either. This is an over simplification but bad deeds performed to gain a just outcome taint the just outcome. This is just one more temptation in this world that we live in and it should be avoided.

Answer 5

The following questions are to be answered in essay form utilizing the principles of Theomatic Calculus to the problems given, assuming a Christian universe.



1) James, a saved individual with an atonement coefficient of 5'i, possesses a truth factor of 48 Webstines. He tells a lie of nugatory significance, with a context impact rating (CIR) of 0.24. What is his new atonement coefficient?

2) Barbara is at a rock concert and has a sin differential of -0.8K. Supposing that the Rapture is t-10 seconds away, what is the probability that Barbara will be saved at the moment of the Rapture if she utters the Lord’s Prayer in speed verse x = 16c, assuming that the Holy Spirit has warned her conscience of her peril?

3) God is cruising the universe at light speed. As he passes the constellation Taurus, the star Beldwin 2 goes supernova. What is the diurnal proximity of God’s heatpath if a) debris from Beldwin 2 escapes diurnal velocity? and b) Beldwin 2 reaches a thermodynamic heatdeath in 12.8 nanoseconds? Please round answer to nearest thousandth.

4) Sue’s soul possesses a salvation quotient 12.2 @ 0.62 Yarods. If Sue has sex with her (unmarried) boyfriend, which bears a sin value of 69 McBeals, what is Sue’s sin coefficient?

5) Allan, a catholic, decides that he is unfulfilled with his religious convictions, which bear a disjunctive K-9i value of 17.3. What is the probability of Allan’s maximal salvation coefficient, presumed at 64.2 Parsons, if he joins a group of Pentacostals possessing a Scriptural accuracy rating of 5n-0.034b , assuming Allan’s zeal for God is genuine?

6) Angus is in a state of grace, but has repressed homosexual proclivities. Assuming that Hudgins’ theory of theomatic exclusives is correct, what is the distributive iniquity rating for Angus’s indulged homosexual daydreams supposing they possess an intensity rating of 5 Booles?

7) God is creating a new planet, which he plans to populate with sentient life. He determines that this planet will be part of the evil-free zone (EFZ) which he’s arbitrated throughout parts of the universe. What is the probability that the sentient life he creates will choose to invite evil into the EFZ if God gives them free will, or Total Volitional Content (TVC) if He designs the planet with a metaphysical security construct of 9% or less?

8) Aaron, a backslider enjoying a beer in a bar, is about to make a move on a single girl playing pool in the bar’s recreation lounge. While plotting his amorous pursuits, Aaron is overcome with a guilt potential with an intensity factor of 3.9%. What is the probability that Aaron will abort his attempt to seduce the young girl if his sin proclivity index (SPI) is 14 Weikels and his atonement coefficient average (ACA) while saved maintained 62.7%?

9) Assuming a righteous God and a just universe, what is the probability that Woody Allen, who possesses an atonement coefficient of -9.3's, will survive the Rapture upon God’s re-appearance next June?

The Veep of Darkness comes to Waco (and fails to raise as much money this time as he did two years ago for the Republican Congressional candidate who is going to lose to Chet Edwards). Reporting on the bothersome people that don't know their place who were there to un-welcome him, an article spotted by Common Sense contained this quote:
Cheney also drew about 25 anti-war protesters who, led by the Waco organization Friends of Peace, criticized his role in the Iraq war. One sign proclaimed, "Impeach Cheney,' and another blamed the vice president for "lies — war — torture."

"We should not be killing innocent Iraqis to the degree we have," said Jim Goodnow, a 66-year-old protester from Terlingua, Texas.

Answer 6

this principle (known as Utilitarianism) was instated by John Stuart Mill, and it is dependent on your definition of happiness.
who's to say that money will make those children happier?
money is "the root of all evil."
happiness is relative, no human has ever spent his or her whole life in a state of total happiness, I am sure some have gotten close, but that is the nature of our life on earth.
you should look up the difference between Act and Rule Utilitarianism for a clearer answer,
good luck

Answer 7

Sounds like moral relativism to me. Thus, absurd.

Answer 8

only moral reasoning will lead to a moral end.

Answer 9

i don't find it logical. i am very against that!
