RELG 348 - Comparative Religious Ethics

FC ARHU WADV

4 credits
This seminar focuses on the recent development of comparative religious ethics as a field, first surveying influential books and essays of the past 30 years, and then examining a number of recent works, including several that examine political theory comparatively. Comparative religious ethics makes ethical diversity central to its analysis, which typically begins with description and interpretation of particular accounts of morality. Comparing different instances of such ethics requires searching reflection on the methods and tools of inquiry.
