being moral

ever wonder who out there makes a living thinking about morality and ethics? well, that would be a person like me, an ethicist. like anything else there are varying opinions on what the role of an ethicist is, what kind of background one should have, as well as how valuable their thoughts are on everyday moral issues.

I happen to have a background in philosophy with a primary specialization in ethics and I believe part of an ethicist's role should be to engage others in ethical issues and concerns. so for this blog I am aiming to discuss current moral issues and examine ethical questions from one philosopher's perspective, namely mine. as far as how valuable my thoughts are on everyday moral issues...that's up to you.
