Thread: The Art of Ethics *highbrow alert*

Oh man!

Good luck with solving these problems!
Now back to razor stuff for me.

Actually, mebbe I can't help myself. You painted a picture of a part of ethics according to which it involves identifying those actions which attain 'all those things and arrangements of things we desire, not all at once, but in order'. But then where's the role for assessing the ethical status of desires themselves? The sort of conflict resolution that you mention seems more to be a matter of calculating how best to serve our desires, rather than being ethical in any serious sense. Or so someone (Kant?) might argue!
