REL 323. Comparative Ethics East and West

Credits 3.00 PeopleSoft Course ID 013840

Would Jesus have opposed war? What about Buddha? If both opposed war would they have made the same argument against it? In this course we will think about ethical questions from a cross­cultural perspective. Analysis of ethical arguments made in Eastern and Western traditions will bring to light similarities as well as fundamental differences. Case studies will connect the course material to contemporary ethical debates.
