  • Kant's Non-Consequential Theory

    Kant's Non-Consequential Theory

    Kant's non-consequential theory relies on precisely on the existence of a set of jointly accepted and acknowledged moral norms, ethical criteria that help a person make the right decision at the right time. Kant's entire ethical theory relies on the existence of deontological restrictions. These universal laws, as Kant sees them, allow us to function correctly in a society. Kant believes that a person's choices ought to have nothing to do with the preferred outcome,

It becomes even riskier when a competitor is set to do the same thing and the market is unlikely to sustain two rival products . This may appear to be the ration-ale behind the Boeing Company's much-publicized cancellation of the development of its "superjumbo," a whole new class of aircraft with room for 500 to 1,000 passengers.

    The Theories of Ageing

    Theories of ageing Introduction The fundamental biological problem which all theories of ageing are seeking to explain was stated very elegantly in 1957 by Williams when he wrote, “It is indeed remarkable that after a seemingly miraculous feat of morphogenesis, a complex metazoan should be unable to perform the much simpler task of merely maintaining what is already formed”. The difficulty in attempting to establish an understanding of that ageing is that it is not

  • Berkeley’s Theory of Immaterialism

    Berkeley’s Theory of Immaterialism

    As man progressed through the various stages of evolution, it is assumed that at a certain point he began to ponder the world around him. Of course, these first attempts fell short of being scholarly, probably consisting of a few grunts and snorts at best. As time passed on, though, these ideas persisted and were eventually tackled by the more intellectual, so-called philosophers. Thus, excavation of "the external world" began.
