Lecture Series: Good Vs. Evil: How Should I Behave?

Bluewater Association for Lifelong Learning Presents: Critically Thinking About Important Issues: Good Vs. Evil: How Should I Behave? 

Lecturer:

Christopher DiCarlo

In this talk we shall examine some of the foundational concepts in the branch of Philosophy called Ethics. We shall consider some thought experiments or ‘What would you do?’ scenarios which pose some ethical dilemmas and challenge us to carefully consider how we might act. We will also consider the ethical theories of various philosophers throughout history to see how their theories apply to such dilemmas. And finally, we will consider to what extent other animal species practice ethical codes of conduct.
