Introduction to Philosophy and Ethics

(formerly Philosophical Thinking)
PHL4100 / 3 q.h.

In this course, students will explore a variety of approaches to key philosophical issues such as causality, the nature of reality, personal identity, freedom, and determinism. They will look carefully at arguments that discuss broad ethical questions such as 'How do we know what is right,' learn the basic features of deontological and teleological ethics, and apply ethical theory to contemporary issues such as 'How do we weigh the rights of individuals against the good of society in particular situations?'
