PHIL 2400 Ethics and Community Engagement


This course considers specific issues in applied ethics such as: abortion, euthanasia, the death penalty, and professional ethics; issues of diversity and equality in regard to race, gender, and economic status; and the extent of our moral obligations to the poor and starving of other countries, to animals, and to the environment. The course will enable students to evaluate their own beliefs about concrete ethical issues and to consider theoretical questions, such as: Where does morality come from? What makes an ethical argument good or bad? What general rules or principles ought we live by?
