PHIL 101 Fall 2016 Written Assignment #3The theme for this last four page written assignment is ethics. For pages 1 and 2 present a briefsummary of what constitutes ethical behavior for Kant, Camus, and Sartre using the three textswe’ve discussed: Kant’s Grounding, Camus’ The Stranger, and Sartre’s Respectable Prostituteand The Flies. Be sure to explain the key underlying principle or rationale for eachphilosopher’s view. (Note: You’ll need to determine whether Sartre is making the same pointwith The Flies as with The Respectable Prostitute.) For pages 3 and 4 focus on one of the abovetexts and compare that philosopher’s view with YOUR OWN view on ONE of the followingtopics: (a) freedom and human agency, (b) authenticity, (c) the human capacity for ethicalreasoning, or (d) the role of religious or social views in grounding what counts as ethicalbehavior.For pages 3-4 you may present a criticism of the philosophical view you selected, or highlight itsgood points in treating the topic, or explain how you’ve appropriated elements of thephilosopher’s view into your own view about ethical behavior, or some combination of theabove. Whichever approach you use, as with the initial two pages, be sure to explain theunderlying principles and rationale for YOUR OWN view. Before you start working on theessay, think through one possible counter-example that might undermine your account of whatcounts as ethical behavior. Then be sure to incorporate your solution to this “problem” or explainwhy the “problem” isn’t really a problem at all.Once again, the prompt is: Discuss how the following question is answered in each of the fourtexts: “What constitutes ethical behavior?” (pages 1-2) Then select one text and compare yourown personal view with it by focusing one topic (a)-(d). (pages 3-4)
