Ethical Decision-making: How Twenty Years of Philosophy Changed my Life

Authors

  • J. C. van der Merwe

Abstract

This article focuses on the process of ethical decision-making. I will begin with some reflections on my personal and academic life thus far to illustrate how I became interested in ethical decision-making and to discuss the influence that thinkers, such as Danie Strauss, had on my thinking. In the second part of the article I will explain my own approach to ethics, which will be followed by some remarks regarding specific philosophical tools that can be applied to ethical and moral issues.
