| Tues Thurs 11-12 Stiteler B6 | Spring 1998 | ||
| Syllabus | An investigation
of some central philosophical questions about the nature of morality and
its content: Are moral judgments objective and justifiable? Can moral disagreements
be resolved rationally? How are we to understand the idea of a good life,
and what is the relationship between a good life and morality? To what
extent can we be held responsible for our conduct? What is the ethical
significance of death? What do we owe to those less fortunate than ourselves,
and to future generations who have yet to be conceived? Readings will be
from both contemporary and historical sources, and will concern both theoretical
and practical issues.
