Lecture Details

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