PHIL 8 Introduction to Moral Philosophy

An introduction to the foundations and nature of ethics. Questions may include:  What is the good life? What is it for something to have value? Are there acts that ought never to be done, no matter the consequences? Is ethics objective or relative to different perspectives? We inevitably make assumptions whenever we offer ethical verdicts about particular cases. This course aims to think systematically about those assumptions. Open to all classes.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
