Why choose this project topic?
The problem of whether compassion can justify withholding a relevant truth offers a clear debate with competing reasons and possible objections. A limited set of primary readings and carefully explained cases helps you develop an independent argument rather than simply summarising philosophers.
Which conclusions about whether compassion can justify withholding a relevant truth are justified by critical examination of deontological, consequentialist and care-ethical arguments with hypothetical personal dilemmas?
Choose the main philosophical interlocutors and a small set of cases, then narrow the argument about whether compassion can justify withholding a relevant truth.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Clarify the key concepts involved in whether compassion can justify withholding a relevant truth.
- 02Reconstruct the competing arguments in deontological, consequentialist and care-ethical arguments with hypothetical personal dilemmas.
- 03Separate lying, silence and timing, then compare respect for agency with foreseeable emotional harm.
A suggested research approach
Select accessible editions of deontological, consequentialist and care-ethical arguments with hypothetical personal dilemmas and define the central terms before defending a position. Separate lying, silence and timing, then compare respect for agency with foreseeable emotional harm. Make premises explicit, address a strong objection to the preferred account, and distinguish hypothetical illustrations from factual evidence.
What you will need
- Lawful access to deontological, consequentialist and care-ethical arguments with hypothetical personal dilemmas
- An argument map addressing whether compassion can justify withholding a relevant truth
- A supervisor-agreed philosophical framework and complete citation records
Keep your project scope clear
The analysis does not prescribe disclosure decisions in actual clinical or safeguarding situations.
