| Title: | Why Be Moral |
|---|---|
| Course Section Number: | PPE-329-01 |
| Department: | Philosophy, Politics, Economic |
| Description: | We have all been taught that we shouldn't lie, steal, or cheat, even when we could get away with it. But is there actually good reason not to do such things, or is morality really just a kind of superstition or fraud? In this course, we will closely investigate three kinds of answers to this question that attempt to vindicate morality against such skepticism-Hobbesian, Kantian, and Aristotelian. And we'll do so with the help of both classical and contemporary philosophical texts. (Readings will draw from the work of philosophers such as Aristotle, Philippa Foot, David Gauthier, Thomas Hobbes, Immanuel Kant, Plato, T.M. Scanlon, and Judith Jarvis Thomson.)
