  • AI 169: Ethics, Law And Justice

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    We will first assess and discuss two Platonic dialogues in a collective effort to familiarize ourselves with the interplay between reason and ethical questions. We will pay particular attention to Plato s method of reaching conclusions to questions raised in the dialogues, whether and how those conclusions are ethical in nature, and the relative success Plato has in supporting his conclusions. Concepts discussed include the attainment of virtue, whether virtue or knowledge is teachable, the use of persuasion, and statesmanship. We will then apply our familiarity with logical inquiry to a group of Unites States legal cases, and focus our attention on understanding the reasoning that underpins decisions encompassing Fourteenth Amendment due process and equal protection issues. We will look particularly at how our Supreme Court Justices employ reasoning to reach conclusions of law that many view as de facto moral issues. In addition, during the course of the class, we will assess a variety of historical, political, and literary readings with the hope that they may enhance our understanding of the concepts of liberty and equality.
