The dilemma problem, as presented by Philippa Foot in her writing, “Moral Dilemmas Revisited,” is the problem of whether it is possible to find oneself in a situation where one cannot avoid making a bad choice. Foot argues that it is always possible to avoid making a bad choice in a difficult situation. It presents the ideas of several philosophers and their defense of the idea that there are situations in which you can and will make a bad choice. Foot defends himself further in explaining his point of view. He is presented with many viewpoints that imply that a person always feels guilty after a decision has been made. In this article I will show and defend Foot's argument that it is always possible to avoid making a bad choice in a difficult situation, because feelings of guilt do not have to coincide with real regret or symbolize bad decision. To better understand Foot's position on regret, one must first understand the problem of the dilemma itself. One situation illustrated in his article involved a story in which you promised a friend that you would meet them, but instead had to drive someone to the hospital, forcing you to break your promise. The idea here is that you are forced to make the decision to break a promise you made to a friend or leave someone who needs to be taken to the hospital to fend for themselves. Foot believes that "obviously, he or she should, on balance, lead rather than hold the meeting." (Foot 3). This is an obvious answer for Foot, because she believes that there is always a right choice in a situation and that you should not feel guilt, sadness, or regret for making your choice as long as you did the good one. Foot mentions several philosophical authors who agree that it is possible...... middle of article...... and she thinks that those who believe in negative emotions after a decision would also believe that an apology after breaking up a promise is always necessary. Foot doesn't believe you should have to apologize for your choices because you thought they were the right ones; she doesn't believe you owe the person anything other than an explanation of what happened to break the promise. (Foot 3). So, as long as you had a valid reason to break a promise, you did not make the wrong choice and therefore should not feel a residual emotion of regret or sadness leading you to actually regret your choice. Foot shows that the other emotions that other authors talk about are unnecessary and shows that the choices presented may be difficult, but there is a right choice, and if one is sure of that right choice, one will not feel bad about it. about the decision..
