This course is designed for students to foster in themselves a mature moral inclination and judgment. It introduces them to the key theories in ethics including virtue ethics, deontology, and utilitarianism. These classical theories are presented to invoke critical thinking in the learners and encourage them to actively engage in discourse and craft an answer to questions like, “What one ought to do?” and “How should one live?” The course concludes with a discussion of freedom, value, and others, which encompass existential questions that are never untimely, and thus direct every rational being to the things that matter. Ethics invites learners to critically reflect on the possible foundations of moral value by also testing the theories they dabbled with at the personal and at the social level.
