| Course Description: | We will examine the central debates and positions in normative ethics and metaethics beginning with theories such as utilitarianism and deontology that tell us what our ethical obligations are and why. We then examine metaethical theories about the nature of moral claims: do they report objective facts, or express our own personal attitudes? Other topics include the nature of moral judgment and reasoning, debates about the correct analysis of moral semantics, and the scope of the moral domain. |
