PHL 211 - PII Ethics (Perspectives II course) One of the most important questions posed by
Ancient Greek philosophy was: “What is the best way to live?” That
question serves as a guiding line for this introductory course, which
will examine the various approaches that major philosophical thinkers
have made to the study of philosophical ethics in answer to that
question. Topics will include the problem of moral relativism, the
relation between knowledge and virtue, virtue ethics, stoicism, an
ethics based on pure reason, utilitarianism and existentialism.
Readings from Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Kant, Mill, Sartre, and
deBeauvoir.
