Explanation / Answer

11.d

Explanation : Autonomy can be defined as the capacity of an indication to be free from external influence or control and to make informed uncoerced decisions.

The importance of moral autonomy was first mentioned by Kant. It was necessary in order to make decisions that are self directed and adhere to a sense of responsibility instead of merely following lead of others. Therefore option d is correct.

12.b

Explanation: Kansas philosophy can be largely cited in his work 'categorical imperative' which is based on the Supreme moral principle about what our moral duties are. His theory can be classified as dentological theory that focuses on obligations and duties. Therefore option b is correct. Rest of the options do not show a dentological approach and are therefore incorrect.

13.c

Explanation : Consequentialism is the moral approach to ethics that emphasizes the consequences or the end result of an action and not the means to the end. Thus if the end result leads to overall good consequences the action is moral. Virtue ethics emphasizes on the means for the end stating that they must be such that are morally sound in character. Kant's dentological is based on emphasis on moral duties and treats means as an end in themselves, thus duties given much emphasis. Utilitarianism is the theory that states that the best moral action is one which leads to increased utility that is good overall consequences. Therefore option c is correct.
