Religion And Morality On The Hunt Of Finding The Author Of...

God as Author of Morality There is always controversy around when we bring any topic related to religion to the table and it is not different when we talk about morality. This paper will explore the controversial side that plays religion and morality in the hunt of finding the author of what we know as social norms. In this philosophy paper, we will discuss the origin and evolution of the Divine Command Theory and we will analyze an objections against this theory cited by Plato (Atenas, 427 - 347 a. C.) who states: morality and moral obligations ultimately do not depend on God. First of all, we will discuss the origin end evolution of Divine Command Theory. There are three central assumptions about the correlation between morality and religion. We may focus on one out of those three assumptions. This assumption points out that somehow there is a direct relation between a divine being and what is morally appropriate. Russ Shafer-Landua explains this argument by claiming: â€Å"Morality must be created by someone, and God is by far the best candidate.† (2014 The Fundaments of Ethics p.63) God’s omniscience (all-knowing) is which gives the best credentials for designing a moral code. Also, this assumption claims that without the existence of God there would be a lack of morality, considering that we need some authority to guide us. Our disapproval of certains action do not make things wrong, since as human beings, we have a limited overall vision.

Based on the distribution of elements, in structural analysis we find either power-symmetry between equally strong parties or power-asymmetry between a stronger and a weaker party. All elements from which the respective parties can draw power constitute structure. They may be of material nature, i.e. hard power, (such as weapons) or of social nature, i.e. soft power, (such as norms, contracts or precedents). These instrumental elements of power, are either defined as parties’Read MoreHistory of Management Thought Revision17812 Words   |  72 Pages Taylor and trace developments in management thought in Great Britain, Europe, Japan, and the U.S.A. up to about 1929.
