028-The Relation of Moral Obligation and God in LDS Thought (Pt 2) - Ch 3

We discuss different ethical theories and evaluate if they fit with the LDS commitments and doctrine. We layout the positive and negative aspect of each theory and come up with a theory of ethics that is scriptural and consistent with the LDS world view and revelations. Topics Discussed: • The Possibilities of Ethics in LDS Thought • An LDS Teleological Ethic? • The Human Rights Objection • The Distributive-Justice Objection • The Genuine Friendship Objection • A Duty-Based LDS Ethic? • The Overbroad Rule Argument • The Underinclusive Value Argument • An LDS Agape Theory of Ethics in Alignment with the Gospel of Christ
