Course Description: In this course, we will be following debates about wisdom and morality. Throughout the semester, we will familiarize ourselves with arguments and approaches employed by the key voices of the debate. Students will be invited to consider these arguments independently, but also to consider how one's approach to these topics may be inflected by deeper ethical and metaphysical presuppositions. Two major goals of this course are: (1) to learn to identify and assess the argumentative strategies used to answer the discussed ethical questions; and (2) to critically examine the presuppositions that structure philosophical discussions of ethical problems. Seminar Format: Each seminar will focus on a text which you will be expected to have read. I may begin by making some introductory remarks before inviting you to raise clarificatory or critical questions about the text and make connections with previous readings from the course. Assessment: You will submit 2 Problem Analyses (1000-2000 words). One will be due during the semester (by 30 November); the last class may be devoted to practising their presentation and discussion. The other Problem Analysis (it may be a revised version of the first one) will be submitted during the exam period.
