First Post

This is my first post. I've create this blog for my ethics class. Regarding the ethical, I have no specific philosophy or theory that I hold close to my reasoning. I find Religio-Theological ethics too exclusive, Kantionian ethics too impratical, Hume's ethical theory is okay, but simplistic, Utilitarianism is too complex to apply as a blanket, and Ethical Egoism, while connvincing, is a bit unusual to be considered "ethical". So I look forward to learning more about this theories and others over the course of the next few weeks.

I'm intrigued. In what way are the ethicists you've identified insufficient in the way you claim? I assume that all of this will come up in class and so I'll wait until then. But I am intrigued.
