Philosophical Approach to Prove Affirmative Action’s Morality

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, I will discuss whether Affirmative Action is moral or not. There are three main parts of this paper. The first one introduces the definition and motivation of Affirmative Action. The second is about certain perspectives that Affirmative Action is immoral. For the third part, I will criticize those perspectives and defend the argument that Affirmative Action is moral with reasons. At last, I would prefer to briefly mention the relation between Affirmative Action’s motivation and outcome and develop a new question for future thinking.
