PHL419: Moral and Political Philosophy

Moral and political philosophy is about the study of the values, rules and justifications we use in deciding how we should live individually and together with other people. Questions such as: How do we know right from wrong? What makes a person good? and What makes a society just? are explored in light of the diversity of cultures and values, and the unprecedented freedom of choice for some people in a world of increasing inequalities and exploitation of others.
