We will question the principles that guide human action and more specifically moral action. Are there moral facts? Can values be objective? On the contrary, are they necessarily relative to a culture, a time or an individual? Can one want evil? Are we always responsible for what we do? These are the questions which will be addresses in this introductory course to philosophy.

Ex cathedra presentations.

The assessment is a written examination.
