Most appealing Finalist Theories
1. On the three finalist theorist the Aristotle Ethics is the one that appeal to me most. In particular, I agree in him on the following points:
* That being virtuous man can attain happiness
* That what a man does or how he does his function is equally important to what he wants to attain.
* That life of reason is the happiest.
It was very impressive how Aristotle’s defines virtue (of character) and his list of requisite characteristic that describes a morally virtuous agent. Also, how he defined the man's true happiness and the virtues that man demonstrates on achieving happiness.
As a Catholic I believe that my ultimate happiness is do what is good and the good that I know is what the bible and the church teaches me. To be able to do what is good is to be virtueous and righteous.
2. I think Immanuel Kant’s Categorical Imperatives is predominant in the computing world. As Kant‘s philosophy goes,
Nothing in the world – indeed nothing even beyond the world – can possibly be conceived which could be called good without qualification except in good will.
I think in the computing world there are ethical norms and laws that computer users are to recognize. We, as computer users and rational beings are able to discern and decide whether to obey these laws or norms. The will and the reason that will make us obey these norms is the reason that will make us happy or have a good life.
Also, the computing world recognizes what Kant said.
It is nothing less than the participation it affords the rational being in giving universal laws. He is thus fitted to be a member in a possible realm of ends to which his won nature already destined him. For, as an end in himself, he is destined to be legislative in the realms of ends, free from all laws of nature and obedient only to those he himself gives.
That as computer users we recognize the universal laws and that ourselves are ends. And we have the ability or the will to obey the law or to make the law in accordance to what we believe is good. Also in computing, the laws or norms are universally accepted and consistent.
