Class description
“Moral Realism” The primary focus of this class will be a contemporary debate about moral realism. We will address such questions as “Are the requirements of morality invented or discovered?” “Can judgments of value be justifiably said to be better or worse?” “What are the implications of deep moral disagreement for our understanding of morality?” “If there are moral truths, what are they based in?” TEXT: Moral Vision: An Introduction to Ethics, McNaughton
