PH250 Ethics

How should humans live? We will consider this question by studying the main approaches to ethics such as those represented by Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Mill and Nietzsche. And we will apply these approaches to at least one contemporary ethical issue. Topics may include happiness, virtue,love, friendship, natural law, duty, utility, valuation, and sexuality. This course provides the conceptual background for further studies in contemporary ethical issues, business ethics, and related topics.
