Course Description:
This course focuses both on the nature of morality itself and on its practical day-to-day application. It takes a unique ?organic? approach to the subject: beginning with the complete ethics of Reverence for Life developed by Dr. Albert Schweitzer it then moves outward from this center to show how the various approaches to ethics are all contained, like a plant in a seed, within that comprehensive formulation and how none can exist apart from it. Emphasis is on critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each idea, on developing an integrated perspective on the whole field of ethics as a foundation for further study, and on practical applications to daily life.
