Ethics involves the study of human choice and action based on concepts of value and obligation, and attempts to uncover and analyze these fundamental assumptions of value implicit in all aspects of our decision-making processes. This course will examine ethical theory through systematic study of classical and modern source works in moral philosophy. Students will then apply ethical theory to real-life issues through active analysis of contemporary ethical problems. This two-fold approach to the study of ethics will sharpen valuable skills in reasoning and logic, and will also help students develop a rational approach toward discovering and articulating their own values structure.
