PHIL 765

Special Topic: Roles and Obligations

Please note: this is archived course information from 2014 for PHIL 765.

Description

Many obligations attach to us as role occupants rather than persons. Recent ethics has tended to ignore roles altogether or to focus on particular roles. This course will address questions about the origins of roles, how roles come to have particular normative content, role conflict and the relation between role and ordinary morality.
