Expanded Course Description
| Moral theories question the fundamental principles determining human action aimed at a common good. The course will center on four very different investigations of such principles in the Western tradition, which are influential still today: Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, Kant’s Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals, Mill’s Utilitarianism, and feminist Ethics of Care. What is at stake in these ethical theories is by no means simply “theoretical.” These are not simply rational theories one may choose from at will, but they arise from and speak to historically shaped lineages that determine our senses of good and bad, right and wrong, and this mostly without us being aware of them. Class time will consist in close readings of primary texts and discussions regarding ethical issues related to topics such as happiness, the good, virtue, decision, justice, habit, pleasure, responsibility, freedom, and care. |
