Philosophical Ethics and the Zombies

3 credits

Embodying contemporary anxieties of apocalyptic disaster, zombies summon fundamental ethical questions. This course examines the zombie in literature, film, the graphic novel, and the TV series The Walking Dead through the lens of bio-ethical theory and philosophers such as Kant, Nietzsche, Jonas, Arendt and Levinas. *Note: This course is intended for ENGL Honours students.
