Value theory: Value theory involves various approaches that examine how, why, and to What degree humans value things and whether the object or subject of valuing is A person, idea, object, or anything else. Within philosophy, it can be known as Ethics or axiology.

6) What is the definition of Fideism? What is Fideism applied to moral questions?
Fideism Is the belief that religion is the only possible source of moral Guidance (excluding any other source). Fideism is an epistemological theory Which maintains that faith is independent of reason, or that reason and faith Are hostile to each other and faith is superior at arriving at particular Truths.

9) Why is Duns Scotus’ Divine Command Theory deeply problematic (even from a religious point of view)?
The First horn of the dilemma posed by Socrates to Euthyphro is that if an act is Morally right because God commands it, then morality becomes arbitrary. Moreover, God is not subject to a moral law that exists external to him. On the Modified Divine Command Theory, the moral law is a feature of God's nature. This theory proposes that an action is morally good if it is commanded by God. God could’ve said that murder is good. But murder is bad because it is its Nature to bad, not because God decided it was bad.

10) What is the core idea of an ethical Theory based on Natural Law? Explain and give an example.
The Core idea of natural law is that what is good or bad is inscribed in our Nature. For example, it is bad murdering or hurting someone because it is Against their natural biological functions. Call it the Natural Law Argument—goes like this:

1. If an act is unnatural, then it is Immoral.
2. Suicide, contraception, and homosexual activity are unnatural. 3. Therefore Suicide, contraception, and homosexual activity are immoral.

11) What is “Hume’s Law” in Ethics? Explain and discuss with examples and objections.
You Cannot derive an ought from an is. This means that by just Describing how the world is, you cannot come to an ethical conclusion about What should or ought to be done. For example, polygamy, it has Happened through time but that doesn’t make it right. Another example would be Ancient cultures that used to kill people when they did something bad, but now We can’t take justice in our hands and kill people every time they do something Bad.
