Ethics

Ethics The course introduces students to the ethical dimension of human existence at various levels-personal, societal, environmental and cultural. The course seeks to answer questions such as, What is ethics? How is it framed and practiced? And what is the value to society and the person?. The first part lays the groundwork -the meaning of ethics- and leads students through the analysis of human experience, linking it to elements of the ethical dimension. Part one of the course culminates in the students ability to translate human experiences into ethical cases. The second part of the course takes students through the various classical ethical frameworks- utilitarianism, deontological ethics, virtue ethics and natural ethics - providing them with the tools by which to articulate and analyze the ethical cases they constructed. These frameworks also embed sets of values that students ability to express their constructed ethical cases in the language and form of particular ethical frameworks. The last part guides students through the analysis and evaluation of the strengths and weakness of the various ethical frameworks and their value to human life and society. The end goal is for students to be able to make informed decisions on their constructed ethical cases. The course will require considerable reading, discussion and writing, as students learn about ethical frameworks, raise questions, reflect comment upon and evaluate the frameworks and ethical cases they construct in class.
