New Course Offering in Fall, 2000 


ETHICS

Philosophy 255 (Tuesday/Thursday 2:00-3:20)

Dr. Ted Toadvine



Toward what kind of life should human beings strive?

Is ethics just one way that the STRONG try to CONTROL the WEAK?
 
Are our morals RELATIVE to our CULTURE?
 
Should we pursue the HAPPINESS of the GREATEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE?
 
Do WOMEN think differently about ethical problems than MEN?
