PHIL 2010 - Ethics

Institution:

Curry College

Subject:

Description:

Fall and Spring Semesters Ethics is the study of human and humane activity, an inquiry into the determination of the will. This course examines major theories that describe and set norms for forming moral judgements. Questions raised will include: Are humans inherently selfish? How does one decide the correct path–by predicting the consequences of actions or by examining the actions themselves? A portion of the course is devoted to recent developments in virtue theory, and ancient tradition that examines the intentions of the moral agent rather than consequences or acts. This course is recommended for students with sophomore standing or above.
