Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Philosophy

Description:

This course explores ethical, economic and legal implications of the increasing commodification of everything, including human lives, which has occurred because of the ever increasing emphasis on consumption to drive economies. We explore the malign effects that this commodification of everything stimulating increasing levels of consumption may have on our individual capabilities to live humanly decent lives, which intuitively involves more than consuming and accumulating "stuff".
