We will pair historical readings with contemporary insights into those reading. The first part of the course will focus on three big moral theories: Utilitarianism, Kantianism, and Virtue Ethics. These theories present accounts of what makes an action right or wrong, what makes a person virtuous or vicious, and what role an ethical theory should play in a good life. Some of the applied ethical topics discussed will include: whether we have an obligation to follow the law, our obligations to global famine relief, abortion, animal rights, and oppression.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learning Objectives: \u00a0<\/strong>Your skills will be developed and tested in three ways:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Reading Comprehension<\/strong>: involves close reading all the assigned texts;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Philosophical Writing<\/strong>: involves completing a variety of written assignments designed to teach you how good philosophical writing differs from other familiar types of writing (this is a Gordon\u2019s Rule course);<\/li>\n<li><strong>Class Discussion<\/strong>: involves actively, respectfully engaging with your peers and instructor about philosophically complex, abstract theories that have implications for how we should make choices and live our lives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Success in this course requires you to prepare yourself for class discussion by reading critically, to defend your own views with reasons and arguments, and to give a good faith effort to develop your philosophical skills, both verbally and in writing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Required Texts<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Cahn, Steven M., ed. <em>Exploring Ethics: An Introductory Anthology<\/em>, 4<sup>th<\/sup>Ed (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2017).<a name=\"_ftnref1\"><\/a>[1] This book is required and you must bring it to class.\u00a0 All other texts will be placed in a shared folder on our Canvas site.<\/li>\n<li>Twice during the semester you will be required to watch a movie. Some of these movies are available for free through our library, some are not. Therefore you should expect to rent 1 or 2 movies during the semester for a cost of approx. $2 a piece (SD) = $4.
