PHIL 122 - The Nature of Value

3 HU
First Semester. What makes an action right or wrong? What makes a state just? What makes a painting or landscape beautiful? Each of these questions is central to a branch of value theory: ethics, political philosophy, and aesthetics. Answering questions like these requires an understanding of what it is for things to be valuable in different ways. This course aims to bring us to such an understanding by comparing forms of judgment and critically engaging with value problems.
