PHIL310 Philosophy of Ethics
This course provides an introduction to moral philosophy and ethics. Students will examine problems that arise when individuals and organizations make moral decisions. Students will also consider several historically important and still prominent theoretical approaches to ethics that attempt to provide systematic procedures for answering questions about right and wrong. Students will examine a variety of important moral issues, such as famine relief, euthanasia, abortion, and genetic engineering in order to develop methods of thinking about the reasons for and against moral judgments.
