Description
This course will not be recorded.
Ethics is the branch of philosophy that focuses on values, morality, and concepts of justice. In this six-week course, we will study the major ethical theories of the world's philosophical traditions immersing ourselves in an inquiry into the nature of justice, virtue, and the good life. We will examine egoism, relativism, utilitarianism, deontology, and several other prominent ethical perspectives by applying them to real-life situations in our lives and in the ethical dilemmas in the world around us.
