DESCRIPTION
What is right and wrong, good and bad? Where do ethical ideas and standards come from? How do we make ethical decisions? And why should we be ethical at all? This course introduces students to ethical thinking by studying both concrete issues and more abstract moral theories. Students will explore theoretical ideas like ?virtue?, ?duty?, and ?utility? and philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Nietzsche, Singer, and Nussbaum. These will be considered in relation to concrete issues such as abortion, charity, climate change, free speech, and genetics.
