PHIL0190: Contemporary Moral Problems

This course will address issues of contemporary moral concern. These will include topics from the public sphere, such as environmental concerns, capital punishment, and affirmative action, as well as issues from the private sphere, including sexuality, drugs, and abortion. The course will present the arguments of various philosophers, but the main emphasis will be on developing the critical and philosophical tools necessary to think through these matters: the identification and evaluation of arguments, and the construction of careful and rigorous arguments. No background in philosophy is required.

Offered Spring, 2010 by the Philosophy department(s).
