Foundations of Moral Philosophy

Catalog description

Many contemporary currents of thinking like to undermine the very foundations of moral philosophy. Fortunately, the foundations of moral philosophy are not found in books of theories but in the performance of individuals, asking questions about moral values, evaluating people, policies, actions, rules, and, coming to conclusions about right and wrong. This course focuses on moral values, how we know them, and consequently is a value ethics. It is strongly recommended that any students enrolling in this class have completed at least two Philosophy courses before it begins.
