Main themes To introduce the student to the plurality of orientations encountered in moral philosophical reflection; to its history and major epochs; to its self-understanding and methods; to the questions it poses and the problems it raises.
Aims By the end of the course, the student should be able to address in a critical manner, that is to say, in a manner that is personal, informed, and well-argued, the pressing moral questions regarding happiness, the notion of duty, the idea of value, etc. The student should also be able to show the legitimacy and pertinence these questions have both for human beings and for the world of today. To this end, the student should be up to mastering the conceptual and historical reference points necessary to weigh the moral stakes inherent to all philosophical questions. In a similar vein, the student should also be able to put these reference points to work in a coherent an well thought-out manner.
