PHL 305 - Ethics II: Contemporary Ethics 2010-2011 Catalog Year
This course investigates selected topics in ethics of special
interest to contemporary philosophers. For example: How are we to
evaluate the morality of abortion, war, reverse discrimination,
technological advancement, and our treatment of the environment and
future generations? Is moral responsibility possible in a
deterministic world? Is universal truth about right and wrong
consistent with the observed personal and social relativity of
moral belief? How can we improve on the classical accounts of
right, wrong and Justice? What, precisely, do “right”, “wrong”,
“good”, “bad” and other moral terms mean?
PREREQ: PHL 205 or instructor permission. OFFERED: Irregular NOTE: Topics will vary. CREDIT: 3
