PH 211 - Ethical Theory and Moral Issues
Credit(s): 3
In this course, we will examine issues in ethical theory, including such foundational issues as the relationship between ethical behavior and rational behavior, the relationship between ethics and theology, and the issue of whether ethical principles are objective or subjective, absolute or relative. We will examine both actioncentered as well as character-centered approaches to the resolution of ethical dilemmas. Finally, we will turn our attention to the practical application of theory. Readings may include Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Hume, Kant, and Mill. Ethical theory may be applied to such issues as abortion, capital punishment, suicide, lying, and sex.
