PHIL 2050 (Ethics & Values)

ETHICS & VALUES

Instructor: Joseph Miller
dysangelista@gmail.com
office hours by appointment

This course challenges students (1) to explore and clarify their own values as individual human beings; (2) to read works of philosophy, literature, religion, and history critically, with a goal of understanding the foundations of human moral perspectives that inform their values and the values of others around them; and (3) to read, study, research, discuss, and write about difficult ethical issues. The course focuses on issues that incorporate perennial human struggles—good versus evil, justice versus injustice, equality versus inequality—and emphasizes the necessity of defining and examining happiness and values in the process of negotiating such struggles. Students will apply insights gained from the course to their own lives, their own struggles.
