Re: Real World Philospohy
Sounds like a good place to quote one of my favourite quotes (said while watching someone sky dive or bungie jump or something like that)
"I hope my life never gets so boring that I have to risk my life to make it interesting" -A.K.Gunstensen

Re: Real World Philospohy
Utilitarianism mainly, combination of that with other ones in small amounts.
Basically utilitarianism says that the right action is the one that will maximize the good and minimize the bad, by using hedonic calculus, problem is assigning the values to the varz.
Somethign like that

Re: Real World Philospohy
Much as any ethical system tries to hide it, they all rest on one or more unproveable assumptions somewhere along the line, of the "feel good" variety or otherwise. As such, there isn't too terribly much point with all the intervening logic, as it all rests on the assumption(s) anyway. Much simpler to take an absolute stance and state a thing is right or wrong flat out. I go with the Ten Commandments, perhaps adding a dab of some of the others ethical systems every here and there for the odd situation.
