PHIL 250 Ethics

We often judge that some action is morally right or morally wrong, but we don’t often ask: what makes an action right or wrong? Is it simply a matter of society’s rules, or are there objective, society-independent standards for rightness and wrongness? If there are, what might those standards be, and how can they be explained? This course explores these and related questions about the nature of morality. [H,V]
