Ethics at Ethical: ‘The Philosophy of Ethics, Pt. II’ with Joe Chuman (Online)
October 31 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Free and open to the public!
This three-part series will discuss the fundamental ways to understand ethics that can help us think through the process of decision-making. Among the approaches presented will be deontology, or a commitment to duty; utilitarianism, which involves measuring pleasure and pain; and virtue ethics, which describes the ethics of human flourishing and how to live a good life. We will relate ethical concepts to the foundations of Ethical Culture. Each session will provide a brief introduction and ample opportunity for discussion.
