PHIL 121 - Philosophy and Morality

3 HU, WR
First and Second Semester. This course will explore challenges to the possibility of ethics, such as whether morality is a matter of convention as opposed to something objective, and whether we have free will. We will also discuss classical theories of morality, including utilitarian and Kantian theory. We will finally consider a range of practical moral controversies, such as the extent of the duties of the affluent to assist the poor, abortion, and the treatment of animals.
