This was the most "on the spot" lecture ever. You surely got a talent to present the theories with a comprehensive order and connection. Well done!

The great lecture ever bruh keep it up
Great video 👌
Thank you, there's a lot to learn here for me. I'd have to watch the video a few more times I think. I'm still trying to place the puzzle pieces here... for some reason I feel that christian ethics doesn't fit any of these completely... it's a bit of each right? Is there a diagram of various ethics views and how they overlap with each other and with religious systems?

Christian ethics falls sort of between Deontology and Virtue ethics; it's often easier to see Deontology in the Old Testament and Virtue ethics in the New. Ten commandments are a great example of Deontology, Jesus's sermon on the mount seems more Virtue ethic-y (to me at least) as it focuses hard on the character of the person practicing the laws, as manifested by their intent. Some of Paul's writings sort of straddle the two schools of thought as well.
I really struggle to understand things out of my interest. I barely understand a thing.
You’re just reading it, we need explanation!!😊
