146685 PHIL 2201 - Ethics
summer semester 2018 | Last update: 25.07.2018 | Place course on memo listA study of concepts of right and wrong, good and evil, and their grounds.
Ethics is the study of right and wrong action, of what makes some ways of acting good or bad, moral or immoral. Since the time of Socrates, philosophers have sought criteria for determining how, when, and why an act can be judged to be “ethical” or “unethical”. This course is a survey of those attempts, from such ancient writers as Plato and Aristotle to modern thinkers like Kant and the Utilitarians. Ultimately, our goal will be to see which, if any, of these thinkers is right about how to determine the ethics of human behavior. Issues considered include abortion, cloning and genetic engineering, euthanasia, capital punishment, environmental ethics & animal rights, sexual morality, and global justice.
The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.
