Louvain-la-Neuve
Main themes In order to achieve the objectives defined above, the instructor critically presents some central themes that are a question for ethics in terms of their connexion with the Christian faith. In this sense, he/she proposes a reflection about ethical choices and their justifications, about human beings in the world, about Christ and the way of life proposed in the Scriptures. The basic consciousness of the plurality of religious and laic approaches protects the discourse from close-mindedness, opening it to different traditions and to other approaches.
Aims By the end of this course, the student should be able: - to confront him/herself in a personal and critical way with the topic of the course, and to argue his/her position, showing that he/she is conscious of the complexity of the questions at stake, also when confronted with various philosophical and religious traditions. - to clarify the fundamental categories of reflection on ethics and to show how these notions stand out when confronted with the experience of faith and with Christian reflection.

Content Throughout the course of christian ethics, students will be confronted to the foundations of that type of ehtics, especially in the following fields : the three dimensions of an ethical decision (universal, particular and singular), the human person, freedom, conscience, forgiveness, evil and suffering, salvation. Students will be invited to articulate those foundations to a specific question of ethics (bio-ethics, sexual ethics, social ethics') that they chose and will present for the exam. Students are therefore expected to work on a personal basis in the library.
