A physicаl therаpist (PT) evаluates a patient with a lumbar radiculоpathy. During the neurоlоgical examination, the PT notes the patient has fatigable weakness with testing the patient's big toe extension. What other motion could the PT test to determine whether the weakness is truly myotome weakness?
Write а cоhesive cоmmentаry thаt addresses all оf the following points: (12.1) Two ways of asking the question. Explain the difference between asking "What traits of character make someone a good person?" and "What is the right thing to do?" Trace how Rachels says moral philosophy moved from the first question to the second, and explain Anscombe's objection to the "law without a lawgiver." Then take an everyday situation of your own (for example, someone finds a lost wallet) and describe how a Utilitarian or Kantian and a virtue ethicist would each focus on different things in evaluating it. (12.2) Virtue and the mean. Explain Rachels's definition of a virtue, including why "habitual" matters and why the definition also needs an evaluative part. Then explain Aristotle's idea that virtues are a mean between extremes, using courage as the model. Choose a different virtue from Rachels's list and identify the vice of excess and the vice of deficiency for it. Rachels's discussion of generosity suggests it is hard to say where the mean lies. Explain why. (12.2) Honesty, lying, and deception. Explain the Saint Athanasius case and why Geach approves of what Athanasius did. Why does Rachels argue that deception is no more honest than lying? Then explain his argument that an honest person may sometimes lie, including the role of whether the pursuers deserve trust. Compare this with Kant's treatment of the Inquiring Murderer in Chapter 9. Where do Rachels's virtue-based reasons and Kant's reasoning agree, and where do they differ? (12.3) Two advantages of Virtue Ethics. Explain Stocker's hospital visit example and what it is supposed to show about moral motivation. Then explain the objection to impartiality and how virtues such as loyalty and beneficence handle it. Chapter 10 says moral worth comes from acting out of "a sense of duty." Does Smith's case count against Kant, or could a Kantian reply? Defend your view. (12.4–12.5) Incompleteness. Distinguish Radical Virtue Ethics from a view that supplements other theories with an account of character. Explain the three ways Rachels says the radical version is incomplete, using his news-of-a-death and bad-haircut examples. Then say which of the three you find most damaging, and explain why Rachels concludes that virtue ethics is best seen as part of a larger theory. Ch 12 Virtue Ethics rachels.pdf
