Good morning everyone,
I hope you’re all having a cracking start to the weekend 🙂
How do you define what makes somebody a good person? Would you classify yourself to be a morally good person? In today’s blog, we are going to be exploring the philosophical theory of Virtue Ethics, a personal favourite of mine, which delves into the answer to both of the above questions and so much more – let’s get into it.

In Philosophy, ‘Egoism’ is the ethical theory that one’s self is, or should be, the motivation and the ultimate goal of one’s own actions in life. We’re going to be exploring this a little further in today’s blog, breaking down the different versions of egoism and the impact that each one creates on how you make decisions.

Philosophy is an area of study that I have loved delving into over the last year or so, and as I mentioned in my “Let’s talk about Ethical Perspectives” post, is something that I would love to start talking about here on Sweeney’s Blogs. We have already covered what we mean by the term ‘Ethical Perspectives”, so I think that the perfect place to go next would be to take a look at what we mean by ‘ethics’ 🙂
