1 PHIL1010: PHILOSOPHICAL ETHICS FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR ROBIN MULLER M/TH: 8:30 9:45AM OFFICE HOURS: BY APPOINTMENT COURSE DESCRIPTION This class is an introduction to philosophical ethics with an emphasis on contemporary applications of classical positions in moral philosophy. It consists of four main units. The first three units focus on three major normative ethical theories (eudaimonism, deontology, and consequentialism), often with attention to feminist or other socio-political critiques of those theories. We will be concerned throughout not only with understanding the commitments of these important moral-philosophical positions, but also with determining their limitations that is, the limitations not only of eudaimonism, deontology, and consequentialism, but possibly of normative ethics in general. The fourth unit will consist in a series of debates based on readings dealing with contemporary ethical problems, including abortion; suicide; poverty; pornography; and animal rights. There will be one final exam and several short response papers. REQUIRED MATERIALS Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics Immanuel Kant, Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism and Other Essays Note: all other readings will be made available on Blackboard. COURSE REQUIREMENTS The following are required components of this course: 1. Regular attendance and participation in discussion. 2. Regular completion of the assigned readings. 3. One (1) short ( < 5 min.) presentation on an Aristotelian virtue. 4. One (1) short summary (2 3 pp.) of Aristotle s views on friendship. A short summary reproduces the argument or main threads of a text without critical commentary or personal opinion. 5. One (1) medium-length paper (5 6 pp.) evaluating Kant s ethics in light of Rae Langton s critique. 6. One (1) short (2 3 pp.) response to Godwin s Fire Case restating and assessing the problem in your own words. 7. Presentation of one (1) position or set of positions in an ethical case study. This is a group project in which you will be asked to summarize and present the argument of a paper on one of the following topics: abortion; suicide; poverty; pornography; and animal rights. 8. One (1) final exam. This is an in-class essay assignment for which you may choose to answer any one (1) of the following questions:

2 a. Does Sade have a normative ethic? Why or why not? b. What role can sympathy play in normative ethics? Answer with reference to at least two of the following authors: Jonathan Bennett; John Stuart Mill; Rae Langton; William Godwin; Immanuel Kant. c. Construct a Kantian response to any of the ethical problems posed in the case studies. Make reference to at least one non-kantian text in your reply. d. What is the meaning of virtue for Aristotle? In what sense does his virtue ethics compare to or contrast with the ethics of Homer, Bentham, or Benjamin Franklin? You may bring with you to the exam one (1) index card including notes or an outline; the card must be turned in with your final exam. Your grade for this course is broken down as follows: Attendance and participation (10%) In-class presentation on Aristotelian virtues (5%) Short paper on Aristotle (10%) Short paper on Utilitarianism (15%) Longer paper on Kant (20%) In-class presentation on an ethical case study (20%) Final exam (20%) CLASS POLICIES 1. Any student missing more than five (5) classes is subject to automatic failure of the course. Please note that I do not distinguish between excused and unexcused absences. 2. Tardiness of more than ten (10) minutes will be assessed at one half (½) of an absence. 3. Excessively disruptive behavior (including cell-phone use) will be assessed at one half (½) and absence. 4. Students may earn back one half (½) of an absence by writing a brief (2 3) summary of the material covered in the missed class. These summaries are due the class meeting following the missed session. Absences due to tardiness cannot be earned back. 5. Plagiarism of any sort is not tolerated and will result in automatic failure of the course. I take to be plagiarism the unauthorized use of another person s words or ideas or otherwise passing off another author s work as your own for any reason. Please see me if you have any questions about what does or does not constitute plagiarism. 6. Written assignments must be turned in by the end of the class on which they are due. Late assignments are penalized one-third (1/3) of a grade (e.g., from A to A-) that they are late. Please note that I do not accept electronic copies of written assignments. 7. Written assignments must be typed in a clear, reasonably sized font and doublespaced.
