ILN EP 162: Deontology I Learned Nothing
-
- Philosophie
Pat was feeling glib so Ben cruelly reminds him to follow the rules. That's right. In this GROUNDBREAKING episode, Ben teaches Pat about the fastidious ethical theory of Deontology, a theory ensuring everyone gets a fair shake, regardless of the consequences. Made famous by Pat's enemy Immanuel Kant and his Categorical Imperative, Deontology asserts that most important in moral consideration is the duty and obligation one has to follow ethical rules and adhering to the Right over merely the Good. It sanctifies the status and inviolability of the human person, making thought experiments like the Trolley Problem and Killing Baby Hitler rather hairy.
