PHL 220 Engaging Ethics

This course develops knowledge and skills for living ethically by exploring and critically examining philosophical perspectives (historical or contemporary) on topics like: how we should choose to act, what beings are owed moral concern, what kind of character we should cultivate as part of a community, what counts as a life well-lived, and how these issues may intersect with concerns about forms of oppression and the nature of a just society.
