recommendations are subjective and should be treated as guidelines unless otherwise stated. With this in mind, we How do we apply this to normative reasons? The place-holder for a motive in relation to normative reasons seems to be the reason-giving fact. But what fact would make the reason it grounds selfish? The fact that the act would benefit me is clearly a selfish fact in this context. But what about the fact that the act would benefit my family or my village? That might well benefit me as well as others (in my family or town). Does that make it both selfish and unselfish, or neither?

JODIE COMER “gives ONE OF THE MOST THRILLING PERFORMANCES OF THE BROADWAY SEASON.” (Wall Street Journal) as Tessa, a young brilliant barrister who loves to win. Australian actor Sheridan Harbridge starred in the premiere season of Prima Facie. Credit: Brett Boardman Not much has happened to make Miller’s text less relevant and, although the play has sparked a review of consent law in the UK, it’s unlikely that there has been any material change to the statistics that the play hammers home. Depending on the jurisdiction, it’s estimated that between one in five and one in three women have been sexually assaulted; that only one in 10 rapes are reported to police. Of the ones that make it to trial, the conviction rate is less than 2%. After seeing this live in June, and then seeing it four times in the cinema, I can literally see Jodie performing when I read this. We already know how amazing Jodie is, but Suzie Miller!! What an incredible playwright. So moving, truthful and so so important. I will never get bored of reading this, and it still makes me cry. Every time.Deontologists appear to do it the other way around; they first consider what actions are 'right' and proceed from there. (Actually this is what they do in practice, but it isn't really the starting point of deontological thinking.) Because duty-based ethics is not interested in the results it can lead to courses of action that produce a reduction in the overall happiness of the world. Of course things aren't that clear cut. Sometimes consequentialist theories can provide a fair degree of certainty, if the consequences are easily predictable. This article is written by Riya Yadav , a student of Symbiosis Law School, Nagpur. This article seeks to explain the meaning and importance of prima facie evidence in India. If the plaintiff does not present adequate evidence that a crime was committed or could have been committed by the defendant, the party being sued, then the judge can dismiss the case.

After acclaimed productions in Australia and winning the Australian Writers' Guild Award for Drama, Prima Facie received its European premiere in a sold-out run at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in 2022 starring Jodie Comer in her West End debut. It was named Best New Play at both the 2023 Olivier and WhatsOnStage Awards. A filmed version, released in 2022, went on to become the highest-grossing event cinema release ever in the UK. This play centers around this recent movement, although I suspect similar behaviors have always been apparent.But perhaps the selfish/moral distinction only applies to practical reasons rather than to evaluative or epistemic ones. Could there be non-selfish practical reasons that are not moral? On the face of it, it looks like there are. Suppose I set myself some worthwhile goal. If the goal is valuable, then I have reason to take steps to realise it. But the goal need not be morally worthwhile, and the reasons it involves need not be moral reasons. Suppose the worthwhile goal is to get a better understanding of some period of history. The reasons I have to pursue this goal are provided by whatever it is that makes this goal worth pursuing. That may be the fact that acquiring such knowledge will benefit me, but it need not be. And it is quite plausible to suppose, as Scanlon does, that this goal could only benefit me if it is good on other grounds. If that is right, the reason that grounds its value could not be selfish in the specified sense. But it is also not a moral reason. So the moral and the unselfish come apart. This resonates strongly with disapproving comments such as "he's just using her", and it underpins the idea that "the end can never justify the means". But it's [also] about the community and the rape myths that absolutely abound in the community and in juries, because juries are representatives of the community," she adds. Jailbaby

Kantian ethics seems pretty uncompromising and not really suited to the untidiness of many moral choices that people have to make. I realised that the floral sofa was my mum's sofa. Even to this day … when that line comes up, I cry," Miller says. The impact of Prima Facie

A polemical monologue which makes its point in style… the cumulative effect is quite something' The Times man and, in general, every rational being exists as an end in himself and not merely as a means to be arbitrarily used by this or that will. In all his actions, whether they are directed to himself or to other rational beings, he must always be regarded at the same time as an end...

After a brief stint in corporate law, Miller began working as a human rights and children's rights lawyer in community legal centres. But in the end, it is Miller's theatre, not her legal work, that has had the biggest impact. A writerly childhood The categorical imperative comes in two versions which each emphasise different aspects of the categorical imperative.

Duty-based ethics are usually what people are talking about when they refer to 'the principle of the thing'.
