科目サブタイトル
／Subtitle of this course		 Individual and Society in Western Traditions of Ethical Thinking
講義概要
／Course description		 This course explores various types of ethical thinking in the Western traditions and their modern ramifications in the contemporary world. Students learn to examine three major streams of thought—philosophical, Jewish, and Christian—in order to investigate the distinctive and overlapping features of each. We ask: Why do we intend to behave in a certain manner in relation to others? Is there a coherent logic behind our preference toward our chosen behaviors? How is our ethical thinking formed? Why does it matter in society and community we belong to? What are the distinctive, or shared, ethical features among various religious and secular understandings of the ethical? By asking such questions, we attempt to better understand the thinking and precepts that underlie our conscious, and unconscious, ethical behaviors.
