Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
How do we know right from wrong? Does our knowledge of morality differ from scientific knowledge? Is it threatened by disagreement? This course introduces students to major positions and debates about moral epistemology. We will engage closely with seminal texts and contemporary literature. At the same time, we will work on developing philosophical skills: analyzing arguments, writing clearly, formulating questions, and participating constructively in discussion.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
There will be two short written assignments during the semester. The details will be on Moodle. Their purpose is to give you an opportunity to practice philosophical writing before you attempt a longer essay. In the first assignment, you will be asked to reconstruct an argument and evaluate it. You will receive a mark on this paper along with comments. You will also have a peer-review session at which you discuss it.The second assignment will be to rewrite the paper in light of the comments you have received.The final two sessions will be reserved for discussing presentations. For those sessions there will be no reading. Instead, you will be required to upload a short video in advance, which all seminar participants will watch in preparation for the seminar. This presentation (and the helpful comments you receive) will form the basis of your final essay.Final essays will be due on Thursday June 30, 23:59.
