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. We will apply these approaches to at least one contemporary ethical issue. Topics may include happiness, virtue, love, friendship, natural law, duty, utility, and sexuality. This course provides the conceptual background for further studies in bioethics, business ethics, law, politics, and related topics. Offered every semester.
