    Description
    This course is a rigorous introduction to key ethical theories and their application to classic and contemporary moral problems through study of four primary texts: Plato's Republic, Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, and Mill's Utilitarianism. As an honors section, the class is conducted as a seminar with an emphasis on student writing. Students will be examining historical texts and applying them to contemporary, culturally significant moral problems to evaluate their relevance to those problems and the feasibility of solutions they might provide.
