Ethics

I dont think morality is only a quality of people and not of actions because when good people do bad things we say they are “acting out of character” so that insnt necesarily from their character . It seems that all the philosphers were constantly trying to eleminate factors that play into a moral decision to bring it down to one thing. I think in reality its more complicated than that. More of a combination of things like intentions, actions, consequences, qualities etc. We can often judge an action to be good or bad almost instantly from our gut feeling and this would suggest that morality isnt complicated, but it is. Most of the time when we get that gut or instinctual reaction its obvious that something is good or bad. Even when we make these obvious moral decisions its hard to explain why we feel that way; this suggest that morality is complicated. When you actually take a step back and think about how, why, and the overall result of something you may come to a totally different decision because you have taken alot of different factors into account.
