Subject: Philosophy 0810
Professor Boxer's Philosophy 0810 is listed as a Freshman Seminar but
is open to anyone interested. The course is intended to introduce
students to moral philosophy and applied ethics by exploring some
central debates in medical ethics. The first third of the course
will familiarize students with three main competing theories
(Utilitarianism, Kantian Ethics and Virtue Ethics) as well as
philosophical methodology. The rest of the course will apply what we
have learned to topics such as Abortion, euthanasia, stem cell
research and human cloning.
