RS 280 - Introduction to Moral Theology

Institution:

Saint Vincent College

Subject:

Description:

The activity of theorizing is a matter of free and intelligent decision in pursuit of an intelligible good. Are we confident that moral judgments can be objective? Can they express insights into aspects of reality, rather than mere feelings, tastes, and desires? Why must we consider some of our choices to be free and how do our free choices matter? How far should our moral judgments be based on assessments of expected consequences? In this course, we shall offer a Catholic response to these questions, as well as the problems of utilitarianism and other consequentialist or propotionalistic theories. Three credits.
