Read the article by Leon Kass entitled: “Practicing Ethics: Where’s the Action?” (attached file) For your assignment, you will write a 500-550 word paper in response to the following prompt:

What would you identify as the main concern Kass has with the dominant fashions of ethical theory? In other words, what is he most concerned about with how ethics is practiced today, and why? Give examples from the text (i.e. you can give direct quotes from the text or summarize in your own words) that illustrate your answer. You can discuss more than one of his concerns, but try and describe what you think is the overarching problem that he sees. Then, briefly state what his proposal for a “different practice of ethics” entails (i.e.: discuss what Kass means by “ethics as practice with reflection,” and educating “habits of affection and conduct” (p. 69)?)
