Jamieson’s Method and Moral Theory

Understanding the content

In this two-part article, Robin Harrigan shows you how to tackle Question 2 on Jamieson’s passage in the Unit 4 Implications paper

Edexcel A2 Unit 4: Implications — Philosophy of religion

Jamieson’s passage in the Edexcel GCE Religious Studies Anthology describes the work of modern ethicists and the ethics we can relate to in our everyday lives. He writes that ‘Moral theorising can be found on the highways and byways, practiced by everyone from bartenders to politicians’ (p. 136). By saying this he is reminding us of our own discussions on moral topics when we create moral theories or speculations. Should we tell on a friend who we know is cheating? What should we do about a racist comment?
