Christian Ethics
March 24, 2020
a) Knowledge – which provides that the doer of the act is conscious and
aware of the reason and the consequences of his
actions;
b) Freedom – which provides that doer of the act is acting on his own
initiative and choice without being forced to do so by
another person or situation; and
c) Will – which means that the doer of the act consents to the act,
accepting it as his own, and assumes accountability for
its consequences.
Intrinsic evil is one when its wrongfulness is part of the nature of such
act; that it is an act which is always evil, no matter the circumstances or
rationale while extrinsic evil is an act which becomes evil only because of
certain outside factors, whether this may be the motive of the person or
the circumstances of the act.
In this case, all the foregoing requisites are in the drunken man. Thus, he
is accountable for accidentally burning the house.
Justice is the moral principle that is applied when a car driver who is
involved in an accident is charged with reckless imprudence causing
damage to property. Justice is applied considering that it is a concept
involving fairness, equality, and equitable treatment.
Thus, in such a case, the one who suffered from the reckless
imprudence of the car driver must be treated with fairness, equality
and equitable treatment and the same can only be done by applying
justice through compensating the former.
