Credits: 5
Semester: 1
Department: PHILOSOPHY

Overview Overview
 

Questions such as ‘Does being good make you happy?’, ‘Can there be objectivity in moral judgement or is it all relative?’, and ‘Why be moral anyhow?’ are not only central to human life but also to philosophical reflection. This module introduces some central problems of moral philosophy. Traditional moral theories will be introduced, critiqued and tested regarding their capacity to give answers not only to the questions mentioned above but also in relation to moral issues in society today such as 'animal ethics', ‘environmental ethics’ and ‘euthanasia’.
