J – Philosophy and Religion
Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | September 3, 2024-December 3, 2024
Tuesday: 10:45 AM-12:00 PM
CANCELED: This class has been canceled for the semester.
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.
This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
