Explain the process of traditional philosophy by describing the process of traditional philosophical design. Select a traditional philosophical framework and demonstrate how it was achieved and how it can be used. For instance, explain that the teleological approach is a traditional philosophical ideal that focuses on the idea that the ends can justify the ends.
Describe the significance of the traditional philosophy by relating it to moral choices that your audience can appreciate. Validate the traditional framework by establishing its goals and purpose. For example, explain that the teleological approach seeks to create a situation where your desire for a positive resolution and overall good will direct your individual actions towards a positive process. Explain that if your audience seeks to raise their grades in school, then they will not cheat because the penalty for cheating is a failing grade. However, they will improve their study habits because this will impact their grade positively.
Demonstrate the transition from traditional philosophy to moral philosophy by showing how an idea makes this move. Explain why the moral ideal is unique to the traditional philosophy. For instance, explain that utilitarianism is one transition from teleological thought that suggests that all moral actions should be done based on the idea that you are doing the greatest good for the most people. Explain that utilitarianism is unique because it defines a positive ends as a concept of greatest good, which suggests that good has an impactful quality that can improve multiple lives.
Show how your moral philosophy can be applied to a specific real-world environment and give your audience a way to visualize the reality of your ideal. For example, explain that the hospital emergency room uses a version of utilitarianism, making decisions based on the greatest good for the greatest number, to make triage decisions for patients. While this method is distinctly utilitarian, it also focuses on one particular kind of happiness--the reduction of pain and preservation of health. Explain that this is the process of moving from a traditional framework and into a specific moral philosophy.
