Ima Rossian thinks that we have duties to do good to others (beneficence) and not harm others (nonmaleficence). She interprets "good" and "harm" in terms of

3 is correct!

Ima Rossian thinks that we have duties to do good to others (beneficence) and not harm others (nonmaleficence). She interprets "good" and "harm" in terms of

    { 1 } - pleasure (which is good) and pain (which is bad).
    { 2 } - virtue, knowledge, and pleasure (which are good) and their opposites (which are bad).
    { 3 } - virtue, knowledge, pleasure, life, and freedom (which are good) and their opposites (which are bad).

Ima is a pluralist. She thinks that a wide range of things are intrinsically good.

So to do good to another is to promote the virtue, knowledge, pleasure, life, or freedom of the other person. And to harm is bring vice, ignorance, pain, death, or bondage.
