What is the relationship between value and action? If performing some act would be good for you or others, is that reason enough to think it is the right thing to do? Or are there other kinds of reasons that bear on the morality of an act, distinct from how good or bad its outcomes would be? This seminar explores these questions of normative ethics, a branch of moral philosophy. We will consider certain well-known examples, both real and hypothetical, and learn from classic and contemporary philosophers about how there can be better and worse reasoning regarding moral matters.
