Description
This course will examine representative moral ideas and standards of human conduct, with some consideration of their practical relevance. Topics that may be considered are the nature of morality, conceptions of the good life, virtues and vices, the justification of moral standards, moral relativity and scepticism, the bearing of behavioural studies on moral judgment and the validation of standards, and the question of freedom and moral responsibility. Readings will be selected from both classical and contemporary sources.
From the 2026-27 undergraduate calendar. Always verify details on WebAdvisor or with an academic advisor before registering.
