Description
This course provides an opportunity for students to think deeply
both about the theory and the practice of ethical leadership.
Regarding the first, the students in this course are asked to engage
with primary texts from some of philosophy's greatest thinkers.
This engagement is intended to encourage students to consider their own
ethical beliefs, while asking them to give an account of those
beliefs which move beyond a mere common-sense affirmation. Regarding
the second, students will be asked to apply what they have learned
through the elucidation of their own ethical commitments to
contemporary situations which they may encounter as leaders.
Fundamental questions addressed by this course include but are not
limited to: What is justice? Are there such things as inalienable
rights and what are they? Can people or parties with fundamental
moral disagreements come to accord over contentious issues? Why are
ethical mistakes made, and what can be done to avoid making them?
