PHIL 21000 - Introduction to Ethics

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

The central question of ethics, as traditionally conceived, is how we ought to live, or how we ought to live together. This course begins with the examination of two ancient expressions of "immoralism," according to which it is only a kind of a high-minded foolishness to think of the good of another, or to worry oneself about justice. We consider how this challenge is addressed by Plato and, then, overleaping the centuries, by a number of modern and contemporary authors . A. Ford. Autumn. (A)
