1.1550 Personal Morality versus The State in Antigone, The Last Days of Socrates and The Republic.
At the heart of Sophocles' play Antigone and Plato's examination of Socrates' trial in The Last Days of Socrates as well as in Plato's own philosophy, there is an examination of what constitutes a morally right action. For both Antigone and Socrates, a personal system of ethics takes precedence over what the state has decreed is good or right. In Antigone's case, she calls on the Gods as providing a higher system of justice than that of Creon, who is merely representative of the State. Socrates, and Plato, also defer to the existence of a higher morality than any found in an earthly court. 2.5 pgs. 10 f/c. 3b.

2.1738 The Pursuit of Pleasure: A Reading of the Ethical Philosophy of Aristotle and Epicurus.
This paper approaches the ethical philosophies of Aristotle and Epicurus with respect to their differing approaches to the concept of "pleasure". Where Aristotle's theory of pleasure is supremely rational and foundationed in human experience, Epicurus' theory, in its applicability to otherwise inexplicable human behaviour, may serve to explain human conceptions of pleasure from an entirely different - almost irrational - and yet equally valid avenue. Our conclusion takes the path of moderation; acknowledging the significance of both perspectives, yet taking the middle road between the two ethical models. 8 pgs. 11 f/c. 4b.

3.1812 Homosexual and Heterosexual Rights: How are They Different?
This paper will consider the question as to whether or not homosexuals ought to have same civil and contractual/legal rights as heterosexual persons. This paper will explore this by analyzing, through moral philosophy, a rationale for the difference between heterosexuals and homosexuals, and specifically, for the ways these differences are used to deny rights to legal marriage, adopt children and/or gain custody of children, to share as a legal partner in loss and insurance claims? Moral theory might help to frame an inquiry into how this works, in a civil society. To explore this, with the intention of arriving at an answer to the question, we will first refer to Hobbes' arguments for a law of social contracts, followed by a consideration of Kant's moral imperatives, and concluding with a closer reading of Locke's notes on identity and diversity. 5 pgs. 8 f/c. 4b.

6.3809 The Practical Contexts of Moral Philosophy.
In this essay, I evaluate three theories of moral action in the contexts of a profession. The profession I have chosen is that of an Editor-in-Chief of a small publishing company. The three theories of morality I am considering are Aristotle's theory of Virtue, John Stuart Mill's utilitarianism, and Kant's theory of Duty, as it applies to Kant's categorical imperatives. As a person working with literature, and art, the most useful moral theory comes from Aristotle's theory's of virtue, where character is the significant feature of morality, not pleasure or duty. 7 pgs.

7.9539 "John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism and Morality".
This essay discusses how, in "Utilitarianism", Mill states that, "In the golden rule of Jesus of Nazareth, we read the complete spirit of the ethics of utility. To do as one would be done by, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, constitute the ideal perfection of utilitarian morality." In this way, Mill succeeds in characterizing the spirit of utilitarianism as a moral theory. This is because it becomes in people's self-interest to be good to others. 7 pgs. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
