Course unit content

The cours introduces the structures and normative criteria that characterize the main moral theories (deontology, consequentialism, virtue ethics). The course begins with a discussion of parts of Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, will focus on the differences between virtue ethics and deontologic and utilitarian ethics, and will finally consider contemporary interpretations of Aristotle’s moral thought (in particular M. Nussbaum's capabilities approach).
