In this course, we look at classical ethical
theories of utilitarianism, deontology, and
virtue ethics. We also look at the different
kinds of perspectives on ethical issues
introduced by relativism, ethical egoism, and
emotivism.
Ethical Progress. The outlawing of slavery and
extending voting rights to women seem to indicate
that ethics can have beneficial results. Give an
example from the past that indicates a similar
result or a current social policy that might be
regarded as wrong, which therefore needs to be
changed. Give your reasons and indicate which
ethical theory you believe provides the best
support for your view.
