| Course Title: |
Bioethics (PHIL 165) |
| School: |
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - Friday Center
|
| Description: |
Bioethics is by no means the exclusive domain of philosophers, but our approach is philosophical. Our debates about health-related ethical dilemmas are therefore framed by deeper, more fundamental questions about right action and justice. We also aim to develop philosophical skills, ones that have applications beyond the particular problems we consider this term, to a broad range of issues. The central skills we seek to develop are these: understanding ethical problems by clarifying key questions and concepts, identifying and reconstructing arguments from passages of text, assessing arguments, articulating and defending your own consistent response to an ethical problem.
