INTER 161H - Seminar in Ethics-Honors3 credits
The Honors Seminar in Ethics is a course whose text is a collection of excerpts written by Western philosophers from Plato to Sartre. We also read short stories, a novel, and plays with protagonists who struggle with moral dilemmas. Students are required to give presentations of their own choice (with the approval of the instructor) about religions, philosophers, belief systems, or other related topics. For example, in the past we have learned about Tao; Confucianism; Ethics in Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism, West African religions; animal rights, etc. Journal responses on every reading and essays dealing with ethical questions which arise in our texts are assigned. Students are encouraged to engage in free and open discussions, to question, and to listen to others’ views with respect and interest.Class Hours: 3Prerequisite: ENG 101, 102 Composition and Literature I & II.Offered spring semester.
