Normative Philosophy
Normative Philosophy depicts our conduct. The way we think to select the best from the two choices. The way we select b/w right and wrong. So this depends on the moral values of a person and the thinking as well. Normative Philosophy comprises of four main parts:
Theologism: To do what God wants you to do; for the God will i.e What God want from you at this point.
Deontologism: To do what your moral ethics tell you irrespective of what the consequences can be ; i.e to tell truth everytime without thinking of consequences.
Teleology: To do good for mankind w.r.t circumstances.for e.g Telling the truth by keeping an eye on the circumstances.
Utilitarianism : To do greater good for mankind; there is a thin line of difference b/w Teleologist and Utilitarianists , the Utilitarianists considers performing an act worth doing if it is harmful to a few and beneficial to many human beings.
Scenario: What will you do in this situation ?
Bank Robbery:
Consider a bank robbery case of an office. You are a hostage as well as other workers of the office except a single person whom you know has escaped from the office. The criminal asks to you "All the workers are present here?". Now what your reply will be ? Are you going to act as a theologist, deontologist, utiliatrianist ? what ?
Interview:
Similarly consider a case in an interview where the person taking the interview asks to you about weaknesses of your friend who is also competing for the same job as you are. Now will you be a nice friend and remain silent? or will you tell the weaknesses of your friend because in the end its the job that matters ? Now will you act as theologist, deontologist, utililarianist or teleologist?
