Subject outline
In this subject, we explore some basic questions about ethics and political morality. What are the foundations of personal and political morality and values? What makes something good or valuable? Are moral judgments subjective or can they be objective? Are they relative to one's culture or society or can they be universally applicable? Is there a connection between moral values and our psychology? Can our moral judgements be true or false? What kinds of moral values might govern the ways we live together in political society?
