Description:

This course investigates selected topics in ethics of special interest to contemporary philosophers. For example: How are we to evaluate the morality of abortion, war, reverse discrimination, technological advancement, and our treatment of the environment and future generations? Is moral responsibility possible in a deterministic world? Is universal truth about right and wrong consistent with the observed personal and social relativity of moral belief? How can we improve on the classical accounts of right, wrong and Justice? What, precisely, do "right", "wrong", "good", "bad" and other moral terms mean? Topics will vary.
