To what extent should we subjectively consider individual circumstances when determining the moral value of an ethical decision? It is obvious that people are different and their actions are usually caused

Слайд 1Freedom of the Will
“…freedom of the power of choice has a

character entirely peculiar to it, that it cannot be determined to an action through any incentive except so far as the human being has incorporated it into his maxim…” – Immanuel Kant
According to Hume, the actions are connected with inclinations, motives, and circumstances and people follow them considering the consequences (Hume, David p.47).
The philosophers share the common position that a human has a will and a right to choose. Moreover, they state that necessity is a force of human actions and some events that are a part of the natural world. In that way, humans are free.

Слайд 2To what extent should we subjectively consider individual circumstances when determining

the moral value of an ethical decision?

It is obvious that people are different and their actions are usually caused by numerous reasons and depend on various circumstances
At the same time, there are the certain definitions of ethics and morality, which means that everything out of it is immoral or unethical
However, people have a right to evaluate and make the assessments of the circumstances they are in. In other words, the final deed, action, or event may be explained by the initial aspiration or motive, which is still in frames of morality
In that way, the individual circumstances should be considered while evaluating the moral value of an ethical decision


Слайд 3The possible opposite opinion
According to “RERUM NOVARUM. ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO

XIII ON CAPITAL AND LABOR,” the moral is certain rule and a noble person shall follow it.
Moreover, he states “that a high standard of morality should prevail, both in public and private life.” It means that there are no individual circumstances and there is a common moral rule for everyone.
Are there any other possible opposing opinions concerning the ethical decisions?
Could there be found a compromise between the opinions of philosophers and the Pope Leo XIII?
