We shall consider, for example, what it is for an action to be right or wrong, whether we can have moral knowledge and whether freewill is essential to morality. We shall reflect on four key ethical theories (virtue ethics, deontology, non-cognitivism and utilitarianism), looking at both their strengths and their weaknesses. We shall be looking at morality in the context of the individual and the context of society. en-GB Mon, 16 Apr 2012 11:16:00 +0100 http://www.conted.ox.ac.uk/ Oxford University http://media.podcasts.ox.ac.uk/conted/ethics/ethics-ac-cc.jpg http://www.conted.ox.ac.uk/ 1 philosophy ethics morals moral dilemmas moral truth moral knowledge freewill determinism 2011-01-31 Part 1 of 7 in Marianne Talbot's "A Romp Through Ethics for Complete Beginners".
