3.00 Credits
This course investigates different philosophers' views of the good, the highest goal of human life and human action, in order to arrive at a better understanding of what is the best theoretical foundation and justification for virtuous conduct. In particular, it examines the relation between the human good and morality, examines whether there is an objective ground for the good or whether it is simply a matter of custom, culture, or opinion, and considers what consequences follow from identifying the objective ground with God, with human nature, or with the nature of society. Ultimately, it is meant to help students understand how the theory and practice of ethics lead to a virtuous life, the life that is truly worth living. (Prerequisite: Phil. 160.) Every semester.
