Class Details
It is often claimed that morality is subjective or just a matter of opinion. In this course we’ll examine several influential attempts to provide a rational foundation for morality, along with Nietzsche’s wholesale rejection of these efforts. Readings will include work by Plato, Hobbes, Kant, Mill, Nietzsche, and contemporary authors.
