Part B of the midterm will look as follows:
Choose two of the following pairs of terms, and for each pair, briefly define both terms
while clearly but briefly explaining the difference between them. The answer to each question should not be more than 2-3 sentences.
Then you will see a list of four pairs of terms. These four pairs will be taken from the following list:
- deterrence versus retribution
- human in the biological sense versus human in the moral sense, in the thought of Mary Anne Warren
- sign versus symbol in the thought of Paul Tillich
- treating something as a symbol versus treating something as an idol in the thought of Paul Tillich
- social relativism versus individual relativism
- individual relativism versus the error theory of morality
- individual relativism versus moral absolutism
- what we desire for its own sake versus what we desire for the sake of something else (Aristotle)
