-Fletcher proposed 4 presuppositions, they go by relativism, pragmatisim, personalism and positivism
- These are important concepts as he explained through these how actions should be.
- Relativism means rules do not always apply, it depends on the situation. Absolutes such as 'Do not steal' become relative to love, e.g if love demands stealing food to feed a starving family, then you should steal food .
- Pragmatism which means for an action to be right it has to be practical e.g. the case of the conjioned twins, the Catholic Church thought to be letting 1 twin die would be an evil act, so both of them should die. But Fletcher disagreed, letting both die isn't pragmatic, it would be more practical saving 1.
