PHIL2020: Ethics

This course is designed so that students will engage moral questions deeply.  The hope is that students will continue to develop a thoughtful and intentional moral worldview.  Students who take this course seriously will cultivate important virtues equipping them to be God’s creative and redemptive agents in the world.  Overall, this course is an inquiry into the nature of morality as it applies to a variety of personal and social issues. Through reading and analysis of classical and contemporary literature, we will study how the main ethical theories can be applied to a variety of contemporary moral issues such as the distribution of wealth, personal and social responsibility, war, violence, and many others.  Half of the class will be devoted to ethical theory and half will be devoted to current moral and ethical issues.  It should be very exciting!!!
