Pre-Requisite(s): Prior exposure to any course in Philosophy is a desirable. Objective of Course: Ethics or moral thinking is an important part of our lives. We all do moral thinking Ц either implicitly or explicitly. This course on ethics aims to spark the student into sustained thinking about ethical issues and the theories on which they are based. This course would cover the chief moral theories, meta ethical claims, and moral thinking in the Indian tradition and some problems in applied ethics. The course aims to engage the student into an exercise in philosophical analysis Ц identifying the assumptions and claims of a text and developing oneТs own reactions to the same. The course would require students to develop their own thought through view in the form of an essay, and present the same. Suggested Books: Hospers, John. An Introduction to Philosophical Analysis.
