Document Summary
In the space provided, answer each of these questions with one complete, grammatically correct sentence: briefly describe the conditions upon which the soundness of a deductive ethical argument depends. It also has to be valid (the conclusion necessarily comes from these premises) If the premises are true, the conclusion must be true. Could you have an argument the premises of which are not true, and yet have a valid argument? the answer is true. The argument is not sound though: beauchamp, bowie, and arnold (ethical theory and business) propose a distinction, recognized by some of the authors of the essays in our text, between morality and ethical theory. Morality is society or culture"s thought of what is right and wrong, but ethical theory is justification for what society believes is right or wrong. She doesn"t conform to the social construct of the morality of the time and place.
