  • RLST 040 PO - Religious Ethics

    What is ethics? Is it the study of the best way to live, or of how best to serve others? Are these things the same or different? To whom and for whom am I responsible? Where do these responsibilities come from? What do the various religious traditions of the world have to say about these questions? To what extent do they lay claim to the question of ethics, a question on which the philosophical traditions also have a lot to say? Are such claims legitimate? Do religious traditions generally say the same thing about morality, or do they differ on ethical fundamentals? In this course we begin to think about these difficult questions, through a careful study of selected texts. PRT.
