In terms of Absolute and Relativist views and there relation to Euthanasia for example would you just do.

Absolute =

Kant and Natural Law

Relativist=

Situation Ethics and Act Utilitarianism

And then say how they relate to Euthanasia?

Please Help!!! :smile:

Wait? OCR do philosophy too? I was told it was only AQA! Then again my Philosophy teacher is one of the cheif examiners for the AQA paper, but still I've always hated AQA courses and philosophy is the only one I'm doing, OCR for my other papers.. My philosophy clashes with my Chemistry, so I'm going to be in isolation for a day :frown:

Really starting to resent my teacher tbh.
Sorry for invading this thread :|

My teacher is the writer for the philosophy section of the Philsophical Investigations website, and he suggested to us in class that Augustine's account for evil, Descartes' ontological argument and Aristotle's Prime Mover might well come up tomorrow. :smile:

I think Just war theory and maybe kantian ethics? My teacher thinks Moral absolutism/relativism is very likely to come up

Would really like Kantian ethics, JWT would be hell, the other I could probably blag something...I would die for two explain x's theory of x...I don't like all the complicated formulations they come up with :/.

I'm much more worried about ethics, all this 'applied ethics' stuff is mental.

Although in general my opposing philosopher's opinions are weak, I need to revise Schliermacher and Hume badly. So much to learn, so little time.
