PHIL 115 - Seeking Justice in an Unjust World

H, U, 4 credits. E2.

This course asks students to develop a view of their moral responsibilities to work for greater justice in the world. It examines key concepts in social philosophy, such as justice, equality, liberty, oppression, and responsibility. We examine these concepts by analyzing contemporary social issues, like educational inequality, criminal justice, interaction with nonhuman animals, climate change, or terrorism and war.
