PHIL 505Contemporary Ethics

Catalog

This course serves as the required ethics seminar for SPEL Philosophy graduate students. The course surveys some questions that have been addressed in contemporary, mostly analytic, normative ethics and a bit of metaethics. We will read works - some more traditional, some more critical (feminist, anti-racist, etc.) - in deontology, contractualism, consequentialism, virtue ethics, sentimentalism, naturalism, moral pluralism, relativism, and care ethics.
