The area of specialization is open; ethics and moral philosophy are required areas of competence. The Moral Philosophy course examines central themes in moral philosophy through fundamental questions about human nature, action, and character. Topics include whether moral philosophy is normative; whether people are inherently selfish; whether morality is relative or grounded in universal principles; the meaning and knowability of moral judgments and facts; the role of reason; value and goodness; and how consequences, motives, intentions, actions, and character relate to right and wrong. Students consider leading theories such as egoism, relativism, utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics, and apply these theories to specific moral problems. Applicants should submit a CV and a brief letter of interest. Visa sponsorship is not available.
