Overview
This module examines contemporary moral issues from a philosophical perspective. We begin with a quick look at the major moral theories, but will focus on examining concrete ethical questions such as the moral permissibility of abortion, euthenasia, and factory farming. Addressing such issues involves philosophical examination of the grounds of moral concern and respect, well?being, and the badness of death, among other things. Finally, we will turn to foundational issues in metaethics, such as whether there is moral truth and how we can hope to come to know it.
