The Great Ethical Debates: From Virtue to Justice

por caio · 40 inscritos · 4,5 (8)

An advanced exploration of the central questions in moral philosophy, tracing the arc from Aristotle's virtue ethics through the Enlightenment revolutions of Hume and Kant, the utilitarian tradition of Bentham and Mill, and into the contemporary landscape of Rawlsian justice, libertarian critique, applied ethics, and the capabilities approach. This course engages directly with primary texts, examines real philosophical arguments and their strongest objections, and equips you to navigate the deepest disagreements in ethical theory.
