PHIL 210 - Ethics

Institution:

Knox College

Subject:

Description:

Lying, murder and cheating at checkers are all species of injustice-what do they all have in common that makes them all injustices Which is better, being just or appearing just Must one care about being a just (or a good) person It is easier to answer these questions than to explain why the right answers are right, although both tasks are challenging. We think about what the right answers are, and why they are right, through careful reading of some of the great moral philosophers, including Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, David Hume and Immanuel Kant.
