Title: Ethics and Public Policy
Description: This course examines major moral controversies in public life and differing conceptions of justice and the common good. It seeks to help students develop the skills required for thinking and writing about the ethical considerations that ought to shape public institutions, guide public authorities, and inform popular expectations. The course will focus issues that are particularly challenging for advanced, pluralist democracies like the U. S., such as justice in war, torture and terrorism, abortion and doctor-assisted suicide, markets and distributive justice, paternalism, and the place, if any, of religious arguments in politics.
