Moral Nihilism, Intellectual Nihilism & Practical Ethics

Why IACUCs Need Ethicists
No full textSome animal research is arguably morally wrong, and some animal research is morally bad but could be improved. Who is most likely to be able to identify wrong or bad animal research and advocate for improvements? I argue that philosophical ethicists have the expertise that makes them the likely best candidates for these tasks. I review the skills, knowledge and perspectives that philosophical ethicists tend to have which makes them ethical experts.

No full textSelfishness is often considered a vice and selfish actions are often judged to be wrong. But sometimes we ought to do what's best for ourselves: in a sense, we sometimes should be selfish.

Ethics and "Extra Credit"
No full textGrades on assignments and tests are reliable, yet imperfect, indicators of students knowledge and understanding of a subject matter. Overall course grades are also often influenced by students complying with class procedures: e.g., if attendance and participation are required, then students who rarely attend class may get poor grades, even if they understand the course content and have done well on the assignments and tests. A variety of extra credit opportunities are often given as a way to raise grades on assignments and tests and overall course grades. But there are reasons why instructors should not offer extra credit, that doing so is unjustified and unfair. Extra credit is common but is surprisingly controversial. KEYWORDS: extra credit, philosophy, education, ethics, Applied Ethics, Arts and Humanities, Education, Other Philosophy, Philosoph
