Ethics: What Is Right?
Moral philosophy
lies at the heart of today’s most heated issues—abortion, human cloning,
assisted suicide, financial conflicts of interest, and environmental
stewardship. In this program, Harvard University’s Frances Kamm; Rutgers
University’s Larry Temkin; and Richard Sorabji, honorary fellow at Wolfson
College, the University of Oxford, describe the three major categories of
ethics: metaethics; applied ethics; and normative ethics, including virtue
theory, divine command theory, utilitarian theory, and duty theory. Plato’s
Republic, Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, Kant’s Grounding
for the Metaphysics of Morals, and Mill’s Utilitarianism are
considered, along with the contributions of Epicurus, Hume, Bentham, Hegel,
Marx, Nietzsche, John Rawls, and others. (50 minutes) The DVD version has
on-demand English subtitles and can be viewed using a DVD player or computer
DVD-ROM drive.
