RELG 245 - Religion and Ethics

FC ARHU WINT

4 credits
This is an introductory course in religion and ethics, focusing on social responsibility and moral reasoning. We examine the basic methods and tools in ethics, after which we survey several topics including: medical ethics, environmental ethics, athletics and ethics, just war theory, and global justice. Our aim is to explore the complexity of these topics and to understand what intellectual resources various religious traditions bring to the moral discussion in American public life today.
