ETHC 629 INTRODUCTION TO ETHICAL THEORY
This course introduces students to the prominent theories in ethics and political philosophy that inform our ethical arguments and the articulation of our values. By the end of the course, students are able to articulate ethical problems, understand how these problems differ from problems that can be addressed by empirical investigations or scientific discoveries; and can explain the difference between various schools of thoughts in ethics, and can analyze ethical claims in terms of their theoretical assumptions and commitments.
