PL - 370 Masterpieces of Western Ethics: Humanities IV

Credits: 3

Surveys seminal ethical texts in the Western tradition, including Plato’s Gorgias, works by Aristotle, Aquinas’ treatises On Happiness and On Law, Mill’s Utilitarianism and Kant’s Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals. The course situates these texts in their historical and cultural contexts, and grapples with underlying metaphysical and anthropological issues at stake in competing views of ethics.

Prerequisite(s): PL 109 , Humanities 1 and 2
