J – Philosophy and Religion
Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | February 4, 2026-May 6, 2026
Wednesday: 10:45 AM-12:00 PM
What are “moral judgments”? How do we make them? Do humans have “freedom of will”? Or is “morality” an illusion dispelled by determinism? What are we here for? Is morality only about religion? Can science show us what is right? How should we live? This course brings an overview of moral philosophy and religious views, as well as examining scientific research, to address some of the prickliest continuous questions of right and wrong. Video TED Talks, readings and discussion are included in each session.
This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
