The Introduction to Moral Theory will have you at the edge of your seat, or stuck in the debate of what’s right and wrong. What ought we do? How ought we to live? What makes it the case that we should or should not lie, kill other people or eat animals? Is the good of the group or the individual more important? If you’re finding it too hard or too easy to answer these questions, challenge your mind and enroll into Introduction to Moral Theory.
Various theoretical positions are covered and may include moral skepticism or relativism, Aristotelianism or virtue ethics, utilitarianism, Kantianism and other forms of non-consequentialism. Enter the minds of Philosophers such as John Stuart Mill or Immanuel Kant and discover their moral inquiries.
This course is offered as PHIL 152 and is a hybrid course, which combines elements of an online course with traditional in-class meetings. Introduction to Moral Theory also fulfills a general education requirement (GEP) in the Arts and Humanities.
