PHL 203 - Ethics (3 Credits)

This course is designed to help students consider why basic moral questions might matter, enlisting insights and skills to examine such questions. The ideas of past and current philosophers are covered, and students also reflect on ethical issues using their own experiences, societal events and thought-provoking literature and other media. Ethics requires making moral views as reasonable and justifiable as possible. This course takes personal, social, theoretical and practical approaches, with each aspect informing the others. Lecture Hours: 39. Usually offered in the spring.
