Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of ethical guidelines of the modern young generation. Materials and methods of research are based on the dilemma of the trolley. Students of ONPU took part in the conducted poll. The research revealed that the majority of students are utilitarians, and explanation to them the disadvantages of utilitarianism is almost impossible in terminology of classical philosophy (Kant and others), because they are preferring a criterion of usefulness, not correctness. Through the study of the moral aspect of the Marvel universe heroes, it is possible to help modern young people to consider utilitarianism from the other side, to see all its disadvantages and advantages. Univers of Marvel is considered as a contemporary interpretation of the conflict of utilitarianism and deontology, which offers visualization and specific examples of the solution of the dilemma of utilitarianism. The study identified the main directions of modern interpretations of Kant, Locke and Bentham built the most consistent model solution of proposed dilemma.
