PHIL 20313 Death

In this class we will explore some of the classic metaphysical and moral problems that surround the topic of death. Some of the questions the class may discuss include: What is death? Do we have a soul? Is death a harm? Is life a benefit? Is euthanasia morally permissible? Is abortion morally permissible? Is it morally permissible to kill animals so that we may eat them? May we sacrifice the lives of some in order to save the lives of others?
