Applied Ethics: Philosophy A-Level

This video covers how the three normative ethical theories deal with issues of Stealing, Lying, Eating Animals and Simulated Killing. And the technique required for answering 25 mark essays on them.

Hi, your videos have been so helpful! Could you do a video on meta ethics? :)

[zulaawynn]

also how does Nozick's pleasure machine respond to the claim that 'all pleasures are equal'? isn't it simply a critique of how goodness is defined as pleasure? please could you expand thanks

[meerkatdoesmagic]

Towards the end of the video you give a counter to utilitarianism's approach to eating animals. You use Nozick's experience machine to attack the 'all pleasures are equal ' claim. But isn't the experience machine objection used to argue against 'pleasure is the only good'? Grateful if you could clarify

how do you apply metaethics to an applied ethics 25marker ?? could they ask that in the exam
