PHIL 6310: Ethical Theory
Course Description: We will read three books related to ethical theory. Grandstanding is about the use (and abuse) of moral language. The Philosophical Baby spans a range of issues, many of which are related to cognitive science and moral psychology. The Soil Will Save Us is a foray into environmental ethics, covering everything from regenerative approaches to agriculture to mitigation of climate change. Students may write research papers on any of these topics—or other related areas.
