PH 211 The Ethics of Everyday Life

Ethics is studied as a practical science, that is, as an integrated and lived theory of action. Central to the course are the perennial questions surrounding the nature of the common good - what is justice? what is the good? what is the relationship between the person and community, virtue and freedom, rights, and responsibilities? Students are then asked to reflectively participate in service-learning projects aimed at cultivating virtue and seeking the common good.
