      This is an example of utilitarianism and why it SHOULD be used: to save a whole mass of people versus one terrorist.
  • In the ultimate hypothetical case, if a terrorist with hard intelligence about an impending large-scale terrorist strike could be broken by torture, shouldn't it be used?

    In this article we see how Alan Dershowitz is fighting to use torture when it is severely needed in our society. He uses the example of a terrorist hiding a ticking bomb. In this example, applying torture can save hundreds of innocent civilians.

      Cela est intéressant car il nous montre que c'est normal que la plupart d'entre nous attend pour le bonheur!
  • happiness is our normal condition.
  • I think a better description for unhappiness should be: self-ignorance.

  • to be truly happy requires something outside your current way of thinking
  • The pursuit of happiness requires that you first accept that your mind-defined-you is just a very small expression the real you. The real you has practically unlimited power and wisdom.
  • The thing is, most people pretend to be happy when they are not. Some can't accept that there is no pursuit of happiness

  • The Geneva Conventions and the UN Convention Against Torture, firewalls for our collective humanity, expressly forbid it. It is prohibited without qualification in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - a document signed by people from every corner and culture of the Earth who had survived the suffering of both world wars, the horrors of fascism, and the evil of the Holocaust. They understood well that global humanitarian norms and a rules-based world order are in all our interests

  • Torture is an ineffective interrogation tool It may well produce false information because under torture a prisoner will eventually say anything to stop the pain - regardless of whether it is true

      Toute ce paragraphe est important c'est lui qui nous explique vraiment c'est quoi le "Categorical Imperatives".
  • As it turns out, the only (non-moral) end that we must will in Kant's view (by ‘natural necessity’ he says) is our own happiness

    Je dois dire que le site est difficile à comprendre et il est en anglais (je ne sais pas si on a le droit aux sites en anlgais) mais une fois qu'on le comprend bien, on peut vraiment savoir c'est quoi la philosophie de Kant. Mais, il faut parfois sauter quelques paragraphes inutiles.

      Danc cette article, les arguments décrit par l'auteur nous permet de savoir qu'il y a aucun mal de pratiquer Noël dans le publique.
  • Christmas
  • Christmas should be recognized and celebrated in the schools. Regardless of each person's religious beliefs, Christmas day is celebrated by giving gifts and spreading good cheer to all. There is no harm from spreading good cheer and trying to make other people happy. Actually the world would be a better place if everyone practiced helping each other a little more often

      La définition peut être très pratique. Mais, il y a quelque mots qu'ils faut chercher dans le dictionnaire.
  • Aucune circonstance exceptionnelle, quelle qu'elle soit, qu'il s'agisse de l'état de guerre ou de menace de guerre, d'instabilité politique intérieure ou de tout autre état d'exception, ne peut être invoquée pour justifier la torture.
    • Marie-Lise Pagé
