Woohoo long post!
Hello all.
Below are some preliminary notes on Util, Deon and Virtue Ethics. Yup.
Aaand of course, they are not confirmed to be correct and so on, so if any kind person finds out an errata or has anything to add on, it is your KANTIAN duty to do so and notify everyone else via the tagboard/post.
Of course, as the lectures progress things will change, so a newer version will be coming out soon, but I hope that this will help in KI revision, which we are all happily doing now.
And also, happy Teachers' Day to all our tutors/lecturers, Dr Ang, Mr U.K.Shyam (okay, YOU post his full name), Dr Mercer, Ms Ho, Ms Yan, Ms Heng, Ms Huang, (the H1 Maths Tutor lol), Mr Quek, Ms Kumar, Mr Koh, Ms Phang (not referring to Chewfei), Uncle Gopal, Mr Ang, Dr Hon, Deans, Teachersand fellow Schoolmates.
I guess we aren't the most managable class around, so kudos for still sticking around.
But hey, it's fun isn't it?
...well, it's all relative anyhowz.
I still can't figure out why Kantian ethics are duty-based. Oh shi-

[Maths Lecture]
Lecturer: So I heard you...
Darryl, Tianyu, Eugene: ...liek mudkipz!

Ms Huang: It's not normal to have that normal!

Max: Must have skillz. With a "z".
Kwangchian: ...impregnate the paper with ideas.
Ms Heng: ...
Ms Heng: You're waffling!
Edwin: We're waffling! Waffle waffle waffle!
Darryl: Wafflecopter.
Benjamin: Wafflemao.
Nicholas: ... cannot see the screen...
Ms Heng: There's a reason why God gave you legs right? At times like this, stand and walk!
Nicholas: *reads from seat* From Poem B...
Ms Heng: All of you are superfluous at some point! If not at the introduction, then in the middle of your content paragraph, or at the end of your answer!
09A10: ... *lol*
Ms Heng: It's your life you're wasting; I've already wasted mine. *shrugs*
***
After the rather intruiging and dense philosophy readings, here's a little something to think about.
Did you know that all the great philosophers were beer addicts? Presenting to you - Bruce's Philosophers Alcohol Song.
This is something you won't find on Philosophy Bites Dot Com.
And no, it's not a Rickroll. Really.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
After half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whisky every day
Aristotle Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram
And René Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink, therefore, I am"

It all started with a call for help in our A10 band...
