Courses: Critical Approaches to Ethical Theory (PHILH257A01)
Fall 2012
This course examines efforts over the last century to engage the ethical without recourse to formal systems or foundational principles. How, these approaches ask, can we talk about good and evil, morality and immorality, while believing "truth" to be historically, linguistically, and culturally contingent? In the process of drafting possible answers, we shall think deeply about concepts such as violence, justice, and social responsibility.
Prerequisites: One 100-level philosophy course or its equivalent, or consent.
