There is an ethical issue when (among other possibilities):
- someone is harmed;
- there is a good chance of someone being harmed;
- someone gets certain benefits that others don't get;
- someone is treated differently from someone else;
- someone is not treated as a rational, autonomous person;
- certain groups get benefits that other groups don't get;
- certain groups are harmed in ways that other groups aren't harmed.
In situations like these, it can be hard to know what to do.
A philosopher can help you think about and try to resolve your concerns, whether it's a personal ethical question, an issue that your organization is grappling with or anything else. A trained ethicist can help identify the relevant concerns, make your assumptions explicit and obvious, and develop and evaluate different types of arguments for and against different courses of action.
If you have an issue you'd like to discuss, feel free to contact me! See more at the main page of Atlanta Philosophical Counseling and Consulting.
Thank you!
