About this course
This course will examine major historical and contemporary perspectives in moral philosophy. We will consider questions such as, "Are there any universal moral values?", "Are ethical conduct and self-interest compatible?", What is the source of our ethical obligations (God? Society? or Reason?) and how can we justify them?", and "How does globalization impact ethical theory?" The course will look at what attributes and qualities make up a successful ethical theory and will compare competing approaches to ethical decision-making. Throughout the course, the emphasis will be on real-world ethical issues that arise in contemporary life and society.
