Running a Case Through Three Theories

Captions available

The idea

Running a case through three theories: analyzing one dilemma with utilitarian, Kantian, and virtue lenses, and reading the disagreements as data.

In practice

The case: a manager can hide a colleague's harmless-so-far mistake from an audit, sparing her career.

Where people slip

The exercise is diagnosis, not a vote—three verdicts are not settled by counting to two.

Your place on the trail

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
