PHIL 121 - Philosophy & MoralityFC ARHU
4 credits
This course introduces the discipline and practice of philosophy within the context of ethical inquiry. We begin by considering where morality comes from. Issues include the connection between morality and God and whether morality is relative. We then ask what makes a life go well. Is the good life just a matter of being happy, or is there more to it? Next we move to theories of morality, which aim to tell us which actions are right and wrong. We end by considering some particular ethical disputes. Possible topics include abortion, euthanasia, affirmative action, and the treatment of animals.
This course is appropriate for new students.
