Ethics

Catalog description

As Aristotle says, the purpose of studying Ethics is practical. That is, it helps one aim the arrow of human action with more precision, making it more likely that one will hit the target and live well. In this regard, we look at issues connected to human relations and an ethical life. This includes an examination of the idea of the good life, of human nature, of race and ethnicity, of standards of value and their justifications, and of particular moral problems and decisions. Ethical theories are critically evaluated and used as ameans to reflect upon the issues that underlie human action.
