This course explores some basic questions about human life as they have been addressed in western philosophy, which may include: What is the meaning of life? What is it to live a good life? What is justice? How should a society be organized in order to be a just society? How do answers to these questions vary with different theories of human nature? What is the basis for judgments of right and wrong in interpersonal relations, in relation to the environment, and in public policy? How do we appraise competing values? What is virtue? Topics may also include: gender; sexuality; racism; colonization; health and disability; the nature of religion.
