Description:

Ethics Bowl is a competitive academic game designed to foster students' capacity for reasoning and argumentation on practical ethical issues. Students enrolled in the course will explore and analyze ethical dilemmas drawn from a wide range of areas in practical or applied ethics. The primary goal is for student to find morally good resolutions to specific case studies, to be able to articulate and justify that resolution, and to defend it against potential objections. The second goal is conditional: to prepare teams of students to compete in the national Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl debating competition. It should be noted that the course is open to those not on the teams, and it is not required for those who are on the teams.
