Abstract
Ethics is a field of philosophical thought concerned with the study of the nature of right and wrong, good and bad. Contrary to popular misconception, not all ethical thinking is “relative” or “just opinion”; in part, ethical thinking is a matter of reason, of logic. In this course you should try to purge your language of such expressions as “I feel” and “that’s just your opinion.” Instead, you need to try to give rational explanations of why you judge a certain action to be the morally superior or inferior in a particular set of circumstances and to form well-reasoned counter arguments in response to moral judgments with which you disagree.
