Write an essay evaluating the quote: “Happiness is an Accomplishment.” In
what ways can happiness be an accomplishment? Whose happiness? Whose
accomplishment? In what ways might happiness not be an accomplishment,
but rather a product of luck or some other thing we might not consider to have
been “accomplished”? What might authors like Lyubomirsky, Baumeister, and/or

In response to your point about John Locke, often called the founder of British Empiricism, while Empiricism has both strengths and weaknesses it could be challenged, in so far as It is difficult to claim that what we experience through our senses is the fundamental root of all our perceptions and understanding..  One factor is that Empiricism relies heavily on the senses for attaining truths.  The senses are not always functioning perfectly, surely injury to the brain or alcohol could alter their validity and lead to a distortion of the truth.  A second argument against Empiricism is that the truths arriving need to be organized and not disconnected.  It is difficult to ascertain how this organization can occur.

‘Traditional empiricist methods need to be supplemented by extra-logical principals that are not strictly empirical.’[1] ‘Empiricism cannot provide us with the certainty of scientific knowledge in the sense that it denies the existence of objective reality, ignores the dialectical relationship of the subjective and objective contents of knowledge.’[2] Our sensuous intuitions have to be structured by something inherent in our minds. Differing from Locke, Kant asserts ‘that our minds are not originally like blank slates … although our minds may be empty of sensory content before experience begins they nonetheless have a prior structure that gives shape to the sensory experience.’[3] ‘Another view, generally associated with Plato (Republic 479e-484c) locates the superiority of a priori knowledge in objects known.  What we know by reason alone, a Pllatonic form, say, is superior in an important metaphysical way, e.g. unchanging, eternal, perfect, a higher degree of being, to what we are aware of through sense experience.’[4].

Identify Three Fallacies

Once you learn the names of the major logical fallacies, you will probably start noticing them all over the place, including in advertisements, movies, TV shows, and everyday conversations. This can be both fascinating and frustrating, but it can certainly help you to avoid certain pitfalls in reasoning that are unfortunately very common. This exercise gives you a chance to practice identifying fallacies as they occur in daily life.

Write: Present three distinct informal logical fallacies you have discovered in these types of sources or in your life. Make sure to identify the specific fallacy committed by each example. Explain how the fallacies were used and the context in which they occurred. Finally, explain how the person should have presented the argument in order to avoid committing this logical error.

In "Just and Unjust War," Howard Zinn presents a pacifist position against World War II. What do you think are the strongest points he makes that could be generalized beyond World War II to war in general? If you do not think he makes any strong arguments, tell me why you think his argument is weak? Is his position consistent with just war theory discussed in Amstutz, Chapter 7? Explain. Draw upon Zinn's argument and just war theory to respond to the question, "Does the failure to find weapons of mass destruction invalidate the moral justification for going to war against Iraq?"

Initial posts should integrate and show understanding of the assigned reading (pages 39-51). Your initial post should be three parts, with each part being at least a substantive paragraph. First, try to explain the Euthyphro Dilemma in your own words. The book covers it rather quickly, so it is permissible (and encouraged) that you do some further research online. However, be sure to cite all sources. Structure is important, so here’s a hint. A dilemma is a very specific type of problem where there are exactly two options, but both options are problematic. One thing that your articulation of the Euthyphro Dilemma should reveal is that it is only a problem for people who try to connect a god and ethics in one very specific way. In your second part, explain what that way is, and then explain one or more other ways god and ethics or religion and ethics might interact. Of course, you need not support any of these ways. In the third part, defend your view on an answer to the question, “what makes an action right or wrong?” (or if you like, “What is the grounds for ethical truths?”) That is, provide an opinion on what you think is the most desirable metaethics. This is a question we will come back to a lot this semester, and this answer is only a first approximation. Then try to defend your view using material we have learned so far. If you are trying to defend supernaturalism, you should address the Euthyphro Dilemma. If you are defending one of the three relativist views we have covered, you should address some of the concerns the book raised. Or if you are defending a source we haven’t covered in detail, try to think of some standard objections people could raise and address them. There is no right answer here, but you will be graded on depth, clarity, and insight.
