Moral Reasoning

3 Credits · Level: Graduate

This seminar will address a set of connected topics that lie in the space between moral theory(which concerns what we ought, morally, to do) and moral metaphysics (which deals with the nature of the truth-conditions, if any, for statements about what we ought, morally, do do). We will focus on basic features of how we go about figuring out what we ought to do. Part of the course will be devoted to exploring this intermediate status of the topic and part will simply take this intermediate topic for granted.
