Ancient Greek Ethics

Aristotle's Golden Mean is the principal of this ethical school of thought.  Essentially everyone must find balance in ethical decisions.  Since it is often difficult to come to a decision one way or the other, Aristotle suggests comprimising between two extremes and doing what would fall into 'the Golden Mean' in the situation.

How I stacked up...

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I took the test, and I came out primarily Judeo-Christian with a secondary dash of Kantian ethics. The Golden Mean was down there a bit, but not the lowest. Some of the choices weren't what I would have done in particular situations, but when you take these tests, that's sometimes a limitation that you just have to accept.

In the meantime, I'm examining some questions about the utility of religion in light of a presentation I heard last night on CSpan by Sam Harris. He's a doctoral candidate who's written a very provocative book called "The End of Faith," which essentially asserts that the problem we're seeing in the world today, as typified by Islamic terrorists, is a problem of religion's own making, not something explained by the terrorists' circumstances. In other words, religion itself is the problem, not any one particular religion. Like I said, very provocative....
