Situation Ethics - Joseph Fletcher

Join George and John as they discuss and debate different Philosophical ideas, today they will be discussing Situation Ethics.

Developed by the philosopher Joseph Fletcher, Situation Ethics is seen as the most pragmatic middle-of-the-road approach to ethics. Morality should not be controlled by strict rules, but be treated in a relativist manner based on each situation, however we should approach each moral situation with following the principle of Agape - what is the most loving thing to do.

Watch as George and John critically asses this ethical theory.
