“Can I sacrifice one person to help 100 people?” “Is it true that I should not lie?” “Can I do animal experiments for medical care?” These questions are also questions that ethicists have been thinking about. In this lecture, you will learn about various themes of ethics, including the basic theories of ethics such as consequentialism, duty-based theory, and virtue ethics. You will re-examine what you have taken for granted so that you can think deeper and explore other possibilities.
This course is mainly a lecture style, but rather than one-way communication from the teachers, I will provide time for discussion and give the opportunity of presentation by applicants.
This course is designated to achieve educational goals 1, 2, and 3 of General Basic Subjects.
・Students can understand the Ethicist’s thought taken up in the course and explain in their own words. (Knowledge / Understanding)
