Cheating
-
I don’t think the thread has anything to do with Philosophy. Its most likely the type of cheating people do in school and the poster feels bad for doing it and this thread is a way to relieve his guilt?

Even if that’s true, it still has to do with philosophy. :P Everything (except Mathematics) has to do with Philosophy. Mathematics is the only purity you can find that has nothing to do with philosophy.
-
yes yes thats my thinking too, only its may not apply to the kind of cheating hes referring to because that was never elucidated. So he could have been talking about taking too many of those free pamphlets at the bank because you no longer have the gas turned on and you needed something to light up the fireplace. Thats cheating as well.
What did Kant say about taking too many free loan applications from WAMU?
You see it CAN be something different.
-
Kant would say that no rational person would be able to rationalize it if EVERYONE was to take too many applications from WAMU, free or not. Because it would do damage to WAMU and because then there would be no free applications for others to take too many of and thus, it violates part one (by forming a contradiction) and part two (by being an irrational action.)
Darlin, everything EXCEPT mathematics can be put in the philosophical arena. Math is incontroversable, thus it cannot be debated on a theological standing. No one can debate if A-squared + B-squared = C-squared is moral or immoral. :P
-
If WAMU produced a trillion of these fliers and the abstract of “too many” could then be relative in any event and the value you assign to cheating would have a moral relativism projected into it. Because then it would depend on the size of the company and its capacity to produce the fliers.
So it may be possible for everybody to take many of them, but is this cheating considering it does say “free fliers”
Cheating is a open ended definition.
I have a masters in Philosophy BTW.
-
If WAMU had an infinite number of fliers that cost them nothing to produce, then the term “too many” would be a contradiction since it would no longer have the meaning people associate with the term and thus, would violate the first part of his ethical tests and thus, would STILL be immoral.
:P

A great question with a poll still active from 2008!
-
It depends.
It is horrible when it happens to you, maybe that is why so many of us do it(first)!
It is also easy to take the moral high ground, say you never would, then cheat yourself.
I have and some of the times I regret having done so. Others, you would do it over and over. -
I love the comment “Only if you’re helping someone”.
What if that someone - is yourself? ;)
-
That is what I put.
Then proceeded to write how I have helped myself!
Point proven Garg. -
Just make sure to add the
“Linkon Must Always Win”
rule before the start of any game.
