Description:

C] HU D.Dawson,K.Koltun-Fromm This course examines how ethical theories, both secular and religious, inform notions of the good. We begin by tracing the impact of classical conceptions of justice and the good life through close readings from Plato, Aristotle, and the tragedians, together with medieval and modern accounts that draw heavily from these sources. We conclude by investigating how some contemporary Christian and Jewish ethical thinkers rely on, revise, or subvert the perspectives of classical ethics.
