Which moral theory do you find the most compelling?
I’m back with another philosophical question. Thank you to everyone who answered my last question on the objectivity/subjectivity of morality. Your responses gave me a lot to think about, and I still need to go back and reread some of them because of how complex and thought-provoking they were.
I ask these questions partly because they’re fun to ponder and they spark discussion, but also because reading everyone’s responses and the debates that follow helps me clarify and better understand my own views. So I’m appreciative of that.
I plan on making this a regular series where I ask a question a week or something, unless people are opposed to it.
Now on to the question:
Which moral theory do you find the most compelling and why? Utilitarianism, Deontology, Virtue Ethics, Contractarianism, Contractualism, Divine Command Theory, Sentimentalism, or something else?
