This philosophy course is designed to be a practical, interdisciplinary introduction to the philosophical method of argument reconstruction and evaluation. This course is designed to help students improve their ability to evaluate information and apply logical reasoning skills to a variety of different questions in applied ethics. The work we do in this course should give students a framework for evaluating arguments, and a framework for thinking carefully about the standards of evidence they will encounter in other classes, and in any field they choose to pursue.
We will apply this framework to a set of 15 cases introducing an applied ethics issue. Students will select one of the 15 cases to research and evaluate.
