RELG 241 - Literature and Ethics: British Novels


Semester Offered: Second Semester, Second Module
Half Course
Credits: 2 credits
Attribute: 2HU

What does it mean to lead an ethical life? Novelists, like religious ethicists, explore this question and related topics such as moral development, authenticity, obligations to others, and justice. While religious ethicists seek to provide conceptual clarity in their treatment of these topics related to the ethical life, novelists bring their explorations to life in the worlds of their novels. In this one module course we will study religious ethical concepts and then examine the lived complexity presented in British novels such as Charles Dickens’s Bleak House, where Dickens engages moral issues such as obligations to others and justice.

Enrollment Limit: 35
Instructor: J. Babyak
