PHIL 130 - CONTEMPORARY MORAL PROBLEMS

Hours: 5
In this course, we will consider ethical issues that arise in thinking about how to live our everyday lives, and how to organize our political and social institutions. Some of the issues that we will consider include: the conditions under which we are justified to take a life (e.g., abortion, euthanasia, and the death penalty); issues of social and political justice (e.g., distribution of wealth, affirmative action, punishment, and war); who matters morally (e.g., infanticide, and animal rights); race and sexuality; and environmental ethics. Topics will vary.
Notes: This course is a substitute for INST 250.
