What are “moral judgments”? How do we make them? Do humans have “freedom of will” to engage in moral discourse? Or is “morality” merely an illusion dispelled by determinism? What are we here for? Are moral questions the province of only religion and ethics, or can science show us what is right? How should we live? This course brings an overview of moral philosophy and religious views, as well as examining scientific research, to address some of the prickliest and continuous moral questions.

What is the meaning of life? Many of us already have an answer; many of us do not, and we keep searching. This course takes us on this insurmountable quest with the hope of finding new possibilities to explore, perhaps to ring a few bells of truth. Our Great Courses DVD lecturer is Francis J. Ambrosio, professor of philosophy at Georgetown University. He probes this provocative question through the ages, pursued by both religion and the Western philosophical tradition.
Taught by: James Moser
