DA4710 Critical Thinking and Ethical Decision Making
This course explores contemporary and classical normative ethics, the basic foundations of logic and critical thinking, applied ethics cases and argumentation, with some brief forays into metaethics. The combination of these is designed to investigate and develop effective ethical leadership and higher-order decision making skills. Emphasis is placed on the ability to recognize logical fallacies and avoid cognitive traps to become a more effective critical thinker on moral dilemmas. Readings range from ancient philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle through modern thinkers such as Kant and Mill into present day applied ethics research papers. Prerequisite: None.
