Natural Good and Moral Good

[CRM71]

Hey everyone. I currently am taking an Ethics course and hate it. I took an intro to philosophy course last semester and loved it.
But I have to write a paper on natural good and moral good and where plato, mill, aristotle, and kant stand on these two issues. I was wondering if you guys had any helpful info on where to find some information on this. Thanks a lot!!

Hi CRM71,

Welcome to the boards. I’m glad you enjoyed your intro course to philosophy and hope you’ll continue studying it. This site is not a place to ask for help with your homework. We are not wisened philosophers who sit here waiting for young padawans to come and ask us questions. We are a community, and as such, we operate on a give and take basis. This means bringing something to the discussion and not just outright asking a question. I refer you to our Announcments forum which contains the forum rules, specifically;

ii) Don’t just ask questions. Bring something to the discussion.

Asking “WOAH…LIKE…COULD WE BE LIKE…IN THE MATRIX???” does not make you a philosopher. Honestly. Asking questions is great, as long as you have studied to some extent the topic that you are talking about. Have the decency to go and read some philosophy before asking questions that any old schmoe could ask. There’s no need to try and look cleverer than you actually are, this isn’t a contest. We’re here to educate and be educated.

iii) We are not here to do your homework

If you haven’t done your essay due in tomorrow, you’ve come to the wrong place. Organise your time better, read some books, copy someone elses essay. Whatever you do, just don’t come here.

I hope this makes sense and that you will continue with us at ILP. For now, this topic is closed and will soon be deleted. If you have any questions please feel free to PM me.
