Course Description:

This course introduces students to some of the most influential ethical theories to date, and with a critical eye, studies the source and ground of their influence. Among the theories we discuss are the classical and contemporary utilitarianism, perfectionism, Ross’s ethics, and Kantian ethics. In the course of studying these theories, we raise and critically discuss questions such as the following: How do we avoid the conclusion that ethical standards are just a matter of cultural or individual opinion? Is it always morally preferable to perform whatever action produces the best consequences? What reason can anybody have for being moral rather than just giving the appearance of being moral when that serves one’s own purposes? Readings will be from historically prominent philosophers, such as Bentham, Mill, Nietzsche, and Kant, as well as contemporary authors.

What We Do:
Chill is a non-profit youth development program for underserved and at-risk youth ages 10-18.

By partnering with local youth and family service agencies, we serve Seattle youth annually. Read more
