PHIL 454 Animals and the Environment: Moral Theory 3 credits
and its
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD In Philosophy
454, Animals and the Environment, we will
examine issues involving the moral
significance of plants, non-human animals,
and ecosystems. Historically, the
non-human constituents of nature have been
largely margionalized as a result of
Western philosophy's efforts to reason-out
what is morally significant and why. In
the 1970s, however, a number of moral
philosophers began arguing that non-human
entities deserve much better. Our class
examines some of this early,
groundbreaking scholarship, but we also
look to contemporary writings that
continue challenging the moral status quo.
Specific topics to be addressed include
animal rights, the intrinsic value of
non-sentient nature, ecofeminism,
religious attitudes toward nature, and
'Third World' critiques of Western
environmentalism.

PHIL 650 Moral Theory 3 credits
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD Throughout the
world there are massive social and
resource inequalities between and within
communities. This global inequality raises
serious moral questions. While states and
individuals do provide aid to overcome
this problem, relatively small increases
in international assistance could save
millions of lives. So do the relatively
affluent have a responsibility to assist
the global poor? If so, why? How much
assistance should be provided, and what
kind? What aspects of global poverty
should we should focus on? In this class,
we will attempt to provide answers to
these questions. We will read
philosophers from the Aristotelian,
consequentialist, Kantian, and
contractarian ethical traditions,
including Amartya Sen, Peter Singer, Onora
O'Neill, and John Rawls. These theoretical
perspectives will be applied to real-world
moral problems stemming from global
poverty - problems such as low pay in
'sweat shop' factories and pharmaceutical
research in impoverished communities.
Prerequisites: two courses in Philosophy,
at least one of which is at the advanced
level. Also listed as PHIL 454.
