📚 FULL REVIEW SHEET: Ethics & Meaning of Life 🏛️ Aristotle’s Ethics (Virtue Ethics) 🔹 The Golden Mean (Virtue = Balance) Aristotle believed that moral virtue is a balance between two extremes: Excess (too much) Deficiency (too little) 👉 Examples: Courage = between cowardice (too little bravery) and recklessness (too much) Generosity = between stinginess and wastefulness ✔ Key idea: Virtue is not one-size-fits-all—it depends on the situation and requires judgment. 🔹 Habits & Character We are not born virtuous Virtue is developed through practice and repetition “We are what we repeatedly do” 👉 If you act honestly repeatedly → you become an honest person ✔ This is why habits are central to Aristotle’s ethics 🔹 Instrumental vs Intrinsic Goods Instrumental goods = useful for achieving something else (ex: money, tools, education) Intrinsic goods = valuable in themselves (ex: happiness) 🔹 Happiness (Eudaimonia) Aristotle’s ultimate goal: eudaimonia (flourishing) Not just pleasure → a life of reason and virtue ✔ Happiness = Living morally Using reason well Achieving your full potential ⚖️ Kant’s Ethics (Deontology) 🔹 Core Idea: Duty Over Consequences Immanuel Kant believed: Morality is about doing your duty NOT about outcomes or happiness 🔹 Maxims A maxim = your personal rule for acting 👉 Example: “It’s okay to lie when it helps me” 🔹 Categorical Imperative The most important rule: 👉 Only act on maxims you would want to become universal laws Ask yourself: “What if everyone did this?” ✔ If it creates a contradiction → it’s immoral 🔹 Treat People as Ends Another version: Never treat people as means only Always treat them as ends (valuable individuals) 🔗 Free Will & Determinism 🔹 Determinism All events are caused by previous events Your actions are the result of: Biology Environment Past experiences 🔹 Hard Determinism No free will exists Everything is predetermined 🔹 Soft Determinism (Compatibilism) Free will can exist with determinism You are free if you act without coercion 🔹 Libertarianism (Free Will Theory) Humans have true freedom We are not fully determined 🔹 Beliefs, Desires & Freedom Actions come from: What you believe What you want 👉 Debate: If these are determined → are we really free? 🔹 Coercion When someone is forced by external pressure 👉 Examples: Threats (gunpoint) Blackmail ✔ Coerced actions = not fully free 🔹 Free Will & Moral Responsibility We can only be held responsible if: We had control We acted freely 🧠 Existentialism & Meaning 🔹 Jean-Paul Sartre Key Idea: 👉 “Existence precedes essence” You are NOT born with a purpose You create yourself through choices 🔹 Human Nature No fixed human nature Humans are radically free 🔹 Anguish Deep anxiety from: Total freedom Total responsibility 👉 You are responsible for everything you choose 🔹 Meaning of Life No built-in meaning You must create meaning yourself 🪨 Sisyphus 🔹 Sisyphus Punished by rolling a rock uphill forever The rock always rolls back down 👉 Represents: Meaningless or repetitive life Human struggle ✔ Often used in existentialism: Even in absurdity → we can create meaning ✝️ Arguments for the Existence of God 🔹 Ontological Argument (A Priori) Anselm of Canterbury Based on logic alone God = “greatest possible being” If God exists in the mind → must exist in reality ✔ No observation needed 🔹 Design Argument (Teleological) William Paley World is complex and ordered Like a watch → implies a watchmaker 👉 Therefore → God exists 🔹 The Problem of Evil If God is: All-powerful All-good 👉 Why does evil exist? ✔ Challenges belief in God 🔬 Scientism & Naturalism 🔹 Scientism Only science gives true knowledge 🔹 Naturalism Everything is explained by natural causes No supernatural explanations 🔹 Impact on Free Will If everything is scientific → maybe free will is an illusion 😊 John Stuart Mill & Utilitarianism 🔹 John Stuart Mill Focus: maximize happiness 🔹 Higher vs Lower Pleasures Higher Pleasures: Intellectual (reading, thinking, learning) Lower Pleasures: Physical (eating, comfort) ✔ Key idea: 👉 “Better to be a human dissatisfied than a pig satisfied”

CONTRACTS Definition of Contract- A legally binding agreement made between two or more persons, intended to create legal obligation between them and to be legally enforceable. An agreement is an exchange of promises between two or more parties. (Offer and acceptance) Concept of a Contract A contract is an agreement that is enforceable by law. A contract therefore has legal implications for the parties who enter into a contract. A mere agreement is not legally binding and therefore neither of the parties is liable if anyone breaks the agreement. What makes a contract different from an agreement? A contract requires not only an agreement between parties but also something of value must be passed from one party to the next to make the contract binding. For example, you offer to sell a friend your used text books for $1000.00. After inspecting your textbooks the friend agrees and pays $1000.00. The $1000.00 paid here is the consideration i.e. something of value that is passed from one party to the next. Consideration is the price paid for a promise. You promised to let your friend have your textbooks if he paid $1000.00. This $1000.00 makes the agreement binding. You are therefore obligated to deliver the books to your friend and cannot decide to sell the books to someone else or to ask for a higher price. Your neighbour asks you to mow his lawn after which he will pay you $200.00. You accept this offer and mow the lawn. The work done here is an act of forbearance. You are giving something of value to your neighbour to receive payment for the job. The consideration in this case is the work done by you. It is the price that you have paid for the promise to be paid money for the job. Consideration passes from promise to promise. Characteristics of a Simple Contract There must be offer and acceptance. The offerer is the party that makes the offer and the offeree is the person that the offer is being made to. There must a clear offer and clear acceptance for a contract to be binding. There is an agreement of the minds. An offer is a promise in exchange for performance by another party. An offer can be revoked or terminated under certain conditions. There are also times when an offer can be negotiated to create a counter-offer. Acceptance occurs when an offeree agrees to be mutually bound to the terms of the contract by giving consideration, or something of value like money, to seal the deal. Keep in mind that acceptance follows the mirror image rule, in that acceptance is valid if the product or service rendered is exactly what was contained in the offer. Consideration is the price paid by one party for the promise of the other. Thus if one party promises to provide goods or services, something of value must be given in exchange. This may be in the form of money, goods, services or it may be an act of forbearance. The capacity to contract – Parties to the contract must be over 18 years, of sound mind, not under the influence of drugs or incarcerated. There must be no force, misrepresentation or fraud. Persons should not be forced to sign a contract e.g. blackmail. They should not be lied to e.g. giving the wrong year of a car. Fraud may involve forging someone’s signature. There must be an obvious intention to create legal relations. This is based on the actions of the parties e.g. offer, acceptance and consideration. A contract must be legal- thus, agreements made between parties concerning illegal drugs and any other illegal activity is not a contract. Terms and Concepts Misrepresentation- referring to a false statement of fact made by one party to another party, which has the effect of inducing that party into the contract Types of Misrepresentation- Innocent – untrue statement with reasonable grounds for belief Negligent- untrue but without reasonable grounds. Fraudulent – untrue with the knowledge of the truth to mislead. Breach - Breach of contract is a legal cause of action in which a binding agreement or bargained-for exchange is not honored by one or more of the parties to the contract by non-performance or interference with the other party's performance Void -Contract is the contracts that cannot be enforceable. Voidable- the Voidable Contract is the contract in which one party has the right to enforce or rescind the contract. Rules governing offer and acceptance An offer must be communicated to the other party The offer may be made generally or a specific person, but acceptance must be made by a specific person/s Conditions attached must be brought to the attention of the offeree at the time of the offer for the offeree to be bound. Acceptance must be communicated to the offerer. The offeree must act positively to constitute acceptance. Offer can be revoked before acceptance unless consideration was given. Revocation has to reach the offeree before the offeree has accepted. Acceptance must be unconditional. No counter offers. An offer can be accepted by the person to whom the offer is made. Offer must be within a specified or reasonable time. Offer lapses if time is expired, rejected by offeree, death of offerer or offerree Use the post – Offer is only made when the post reaches the offeree and it is accepted once offeree posts the acceptance whether it is lost or not. Consideration – consideration should either be good or valuable since it is the price one pays to secure the legal obligation on the part of the other. Consideration must be : Real – that is it should be well defined. One should be able to convert it to cash or something of value. Transferable and not already obligated to do by law. Lawful – the subject should be a lawful act or the contract is void. Consideration must not be past i.e past payments not considered Executed – When both parties have fulfilled their obligations (eg Purchase of goods on credit) Executory – The contract still has to be completed. Differences between a Simple & a Speciality Contract & Contract of record. A simple contract can be made orally, in writing or by the implications deemed from the actions of the parties. A specialty contract must be signed by the parties sealed, for example with a company seal and finally it must be delivered. Simple contracts: Be in writing Oral Implied by conduct Consideration is the most important element No special form Examples of specialty contracts include: 1. Mortgages and leases for over three years 2. Sale of land 3. Contracts of insurance 4. Hire purchase agreements 5. Transfer of company shares 6. Assignments of copyright Characteristics of a Speciality Contract Conditions of Simple Contracts must be present. Must be in writing Signed by both parties Stamped or sealed Attestation or witness Delivered by a promisor. Delivery may be made subject to a condition to be performed later giving rise to a escrow. Something of value, such as a deed, stock, money, or written instrument, that is put into the custody of a third person by its owner, a grantor, an obligor, or a promisor, to be retained until the occurrence of a contingency or performance of a condition. An escrow also refers to a writing deposited with someone until the performance of an act or the occurrence of an event specified in that writing. The directions given to the person who accepts delivery of the document are called the escrow agreement and are binding between the person who promises and the person to whom the promise is made. The writing is held in escrow by a third person until the purpose of the underlying agreement is accomplished. When the condition specified in the escrow agreement is performed, the individual holding the writing gives it over to the party entitled to receive it. This is known as the second delivery. Difference between an Offer & an Invitation to Treat An invitation to treat is not an offer but an invitation to bid or bargain for an item. For example, at an auction persons may bid on various items presented. An invitation to treat also occurs also when goods are advertised for sale in the media or in shop windows. Goods in a shop window or goods advertised are not an offer by the owners of the goods but are technically an invitation for interested persons to make an offer. Conditions under which Offer and Acceptance are communicated An offer must be very clearly made. An offer can be made to one person, a group or to the whole world. For example, offering a reward for a lost wallet is an offer to anyone finding the wallet. In cases where there is a counter-offer the original offer is no longer valid. A counter offer is an implied rejection of the original offer. For example: John offers to sell Paula a laptop for $10,000. Paula subsequently offers him $8000.00 as she thought $10,000 was too expensive. Paula has rejected John’s original offer and has made a counter-offer of $8,000. Acceptance must also be clear. In the case of a counter offer a clear acceptance to the new offer must be identified. Contracts may be made orally, in writing or they may be implied. Oral Contracts Are based on what the parties said. For example, asking someone to wash your car for payment Written Contracts Both offerer and offeree must sign the contract document Implied Contracts Implied Contracts are made by the observed actions of the parties involved. For example, someone who sits at a table in a restaurant and places an order has implied that he will pay for the food that will be served. Ways in which Contracts may be Terminated Contracts may be brought to an end: (a) By performance of the parties i.e. each party completing his obligations as stipulated by the contract. (b) By frustration i.e. an event through no fault of the parties that make one party unable to perform the contract. For example: if one party suffers a prolonged illness which makes him unable to perform the contract. (c) By lapse of time i.e. if the time limit set for the contract to be executed by both parties has been passed. For example, sellers of real estate usually require that the buyers pay the full balance on the property within a certain time period after the initial down payment has been made. (d) By the mutual agreement of all parties. (e)If one of the parties become bankrupt after the contract has been signed. (f) By changes in law i.e. where a legal contract is rendered illegal through changes in law. (g) By notice e.g. some firms require that employees give at least one month notice when resigning their positions. (h) If one party dies. (i) By breach of contract-When one party defaults on his part of the agreement i.e. he does not perform his part of the contract. REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT Damages –compensation in case of a breach contract Rescission –to cancel the contract to return parties to former state before contract by mutual agreement of both parties Restitution – Returning property, money and goods after a breach. Waiver of Breach- Non breaching party acceptance of substandard performance Limitation of Liability – a clause that limits liability to a certain point such as the purchase price Specific performance – When damages are not an appropriate remedy the breaching party will have to perform a specific act. Liquidated damages- stipulated amount in a contract that the injured party would receive in the event of a breach of contract. Validity of Contracts Mr. Larry was delighted to see a 50% discount on his favourite brand of shoes at a shoe store 15 miles away. He took sometime off from work to travel to the store. When he arrived at the store he was told that that the brand advertised was sold out but he could choose from other brands available. Mr. Larry was very angry and requested that he be refunded his travelling expenses. Is the owner of the store obligated to refund Mr. Larry his travelling expenses? Answer The advertisement appearing in the newspaper is not an offer by the store but an invitation to treat. Therefore readers were being invited to make an offer for items advertised. The owners of the store are therefore in no way obligated to Mr. Larry. Hope stopped at a convenience store on her way home to purchase a few items. She handed the cashier her credit card and was surprised when she was told that it declined. She apologized and explained that she did not know why her card declined but she will call the bank in the morning. Susan further explained that she had just enough cash with her to get home and so she could not pay for the goods. The cashier was very angry and asked the manager to intervene. The manager insisted that she pay for the goods. Is Sandra obligated to pay for the goods? Answer Sandra has entered into a contract with the convenience store. She made the offer at the cashier counter when she presented the goods to be cashed. The cashier accepted the offer by cashing the goods. In this situation it is up to the manager of the convenience store to accept Hope’s apology
