MORAL REASONING

• Moral Issue- a situation that calls for moral valuation (decisions and judgments); ‘particular situations that are often the source of considerable and inconclusive debates’ • Moral Decision- a choice of what act to perform in a particular situation • Moral Judgment- an assessment of the actions or behavior of someone • Moral Dilemma- ‘when an individual can choose only one from a number of possible actions, and there are compelling ethical reasons for the various choices’

• Moral Reasoning- practical reasoning, ‘a type of reasoning directed towards deciding what to do’; ‘an agent’s firstpersonal practical reasoning about what morally they ought to do’ • Moral Principles- ‘rationally established grounds by which one justifies and maintains her moral decisions and judgments’ • Moral Theory- ‘a systematic attempt to establish the validity of maintaining certain moral principles’ • Framework- ‘a theory of interconnected ideas, and at the same time, a structure through which we can evaluate our reasons for valuing a certain decision or judgment’
