Introduction of Ethics at The University of Georgia will explore what sorts of reasons there are for thinking about ethics and ethical problems in particular ways. It will survey some traditional views about ethics and its applications. The course will examine the philosophical positions concerning right and wrong, ethical values, and moral responsibility, as well as the relevance of moral philosophy to current issues of personal and social ethics. This course is 3 credits, which can be used towards a degree at the University of Georgia or at another institution that will accept transfer credits. This course is divided into sixteen units, composing five lessons. Each unit includes a discussion of the reading and some study questions. This course presupposes no previous exposure to formal philosophy. There are philosophical tendencies in all of us; during reflective moments, we may wonder, for instance, about the basis for any claims about right and wrong or what sort of a thing a "virtue" is. When we wonder about such themes, we're doing philosophy. PHIL 2200
