Good and Evil. Saints and Sinners. Right and Wrong. Nice and Nasty. Our world is full of these vague but deeply meaningful terms. This course explores some basic issues, ideas and theories in moral philosophy including objectivity, subjectivity, religion, evolution, selfishness, and amorality vs. immorality. We will cheerfully discuss these terms, whether we can really justify their use and what the consequences might be by trying to doing so.
