PHIL 50.32 Love and Respect
Morality seems to involve distinctive attitudes toward other people-distinctive ways of feeling and regarding other people. What are these distinctive attitudes of moral consideration? In this course we examine two candidates: love and respect. We will consider both the question of what these attitudes ultimately involve, when and why they are merited, and the prospects for moral systems built around them.
Prerequisite
