Whoops! Sorry. This is what happens when I have ten different series going at the same time. Thanks for watching! Hopefully we'll be able to help you out for the next one. :)
How can you define a paragon of virtue without already having a standard for virtue? If you can’t, then you must admit the principle of virtue exists independently of the existence and actions of any particular person. Suppose we did find a paragon. What motivated that person to act in the way they did if not the principle of virtue existing independently of that person? Impulse? Are we to define virtue as the impulses of the paragon?
The paragon theorist has a couple of options. They could take the claim that a particular paragon is virtuous as basic or self evident (as a skeptic I'm worried about this, but that seems like a course open to them). In fact this seems to be done by people who literally claim that what you should do is what Jesus would do, and take it on faith that Jesus was the paragon of virtue. In this line of thinking, they might respond to your second question by saying something like ti was the divine spirit or just God which defined and proscribed his actions, and that spirit is Good full stop. I'm not saying I'm convinced by this argument (due to the first step of taking particular individuals as paragons on faith) but I see how it could be held once you accepted that first premise. For someone that held the idea of an ideal person, they might go in a different direction. They might argue that we all have the idea of a virtuous person in our minds and we just need to call upon that idea,. Though ethical disagreements and cultural differences about what is morally right seem to make this a tough position to hold.
You might be able to reduce it to an infinitely long set of rules, which would describe how the paragon would act in a particular situation, but by that logic, consequentialism could also be reduced down to deontology with a similar set of rules which an infinite list of the actions that would maximize good consequences.
COULD HAVE DONE WITH THIS VIDEO LAST WEEK BEFORE MY EXAM. But thank you for the good work

Don't worry I'm only joking xD Your videos have helped a lot with my studies!

. This is a numeric Matrix for communications purposes.
. This can be used to convey meaning.
Ex.: 6022: Good Reason to Resist.
. Mathematical operators can be used to calculate meaning.
Ex.: To liberate with a good force: 340. 300 + 40 = 340.
. Logical operators to create statements.
Ex.: ¬11: 13. If not Justice then Death.
. Colors can also be used as information.

Thank you.
which logic book do you think is better?
"A Concise Introduction to Logic 13th Edition"
or "Introduction to Logic 14th Edition"?
I would lean towards the first just because i have experience with it, but I have not used the second, so I can't really compare them.
ok thanks
What would Socrates. Aristole, Zeno, Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, paragons of virtue ethics do?🤔😏😊🦉
Wouldn't paragon ethics be a form of deontological ethics but instead of a universal set of rules you have the actions made by virtuous people?
You might be able to reduce it to an infinitely long set of rules, which would describe how the paragon would act in a particular situation, but by that logic, consequentialism could also be reduced down to deontology with a similar set of rules which an infinite list of the actions that would maximize good consequences.
