Do you get the feeling we are doing someone's homework?

p.s. Kudos to the person posting in the "other" thread who edited their submission to be more "ethical" that it had been.

If one has no ethics, is one precluded from this conversation?

No, that would be like excluding an atheist from a discussion of religion. Nonbelievers bring a rich and interesting perspective to the conversation. As do perverts, psychopaths, and rude people to the discussion of ethics.

Fascinating

The question requires some clarification before it can be answer with any degree of clarity.

Are we asking from a normative ethics point of view? or a descriptive ethics POV?

We are definitely talking about a normative POV or a descriptive POV, yes.

These guys think there are 4 types of ethics:

I think there is a fifth: Ethics based on hedonistic or selfish needs/desire

Wikipedia lists many more types but what do they know

Is it ethical to answer "who cares!" to an ethical question posed by someone who cares, yet doesn't know like what the word "ethical" means totally ever?

 

[Richard G]

Answer: Yes. But see Bernard Williams, "Erhics and the Limits Of Philosophy."
