RE: Knowledge is Power (5) - What is Ethics?

This brings me back to my college philosophy class. When we had an ethics discussion everyone seemed pretty sure what good and evil is. We covered a wide range of topics love, war, and even torture. Then the question was posed is all murder unethical? Is all torture unethical? What if you had a prisoner that knew the location of a nuclear bomb about to go off and wouldn't talk. Would it be ethical to torture him to find out? Even though studies show torture seldom works? These are complex questions, and i find your post very interesting! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to more :) #steemitbloggers

This is very true. Philosophy is a very complex science and Ethics discussions are always hot. The torture subject is very sensitive. In your example I think I am pro-torture. 😕
