opportunity to improve their skills at reasoning critically about moral issues.
Students will learn some basic logical concepts and <i>argument analysis skills </i>and apply them to theoretical and
practical questions about morality. We will practice identifying clear and
precise moral conclusions and the premises, or reasons, given for and against these
conclusions. We will then practice evaluating these reasons to see if they
provide rational support for these conclusions or not.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
We will think about what helps people think more carefully and critically
about moral issues and what factors and influences discourage this. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
We will discuss influential ethical theories and moral principles –
answers to the questions ‘What’s the basic difference between a morally
permissible and a morally impermissible (or wrong) action?’ and ‘What <i>makes </i>wrong
actions wrong and what <i>makes </i>permissible actions permissible?’ – and
apply our argument analysis skills to moral issues such as the treatment of
disabled newborns, female genital mutilation, homosexuality, abortion, absolute
poverty, racism, sexism, and speciesism,
drug use and the criminalization of drug use, vegetarianism and the treatment
of animals, euthanasia and assisted suicide, and capital punishment, among
others. <o:p></o:p></div>

Scientific research suggests that fetuses lack consciousness or sentience prior to, at the earliest, <span style="background-color: yellow;">18 weeks of development </span>and about 99% of abortions in the United States are performed well before this time, most abortions in the United States kill beings—call them early fetuses—that are yet to have minds (Benatar and Benatar, 2001, 57, 63, 75; DeGrazia, 2005, 279; McMahan, 2002, 257). </div>

<br />
A detailed study guide will be due that day also, via Turnitin.<br />
<br />
<b>Some questions, concerning materials from Rachels and class discussion:</b><br />
<br />
- What is the moral theory 'cultural relativism'?<br />
- What is the moral theory 'the divine command theory'?<br />
- What is the theory 'simple subjectivism'?<br />
- What is the theory 'emotivism'?<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
For each theory above, what are the arguments that the theory is true? What are the arguments that the theory is false? Given your understanding of the theory and the various arguments, is the theory true or false?</blockquote>
<b>Practical issues:</b><br />
<br />
- What is female genital mutilation?<br />
- What is homosexuality? What might someone mean if they say that 'homosexuality is wrong'?<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
For each practice, action and/or "lifestyle" above, what are the arguments that it is is morally permissible? What are the arguments that the it is wrong? State these arguments in logically valid form. <br />
Given your
understanding of the practice and the various arguments, is the action morally permissible or not, and why?</blockquote>
NOTE: ABORTION WILL NOT BE ON THIS QUIZ.<br />
<br />
General techniques: making arguments logically valid; stating arguments as syllogisms. <br />

You should try to attend sessions that look interesting to you. I'll pass along details as soon as I get them.

I posted grades on EMP Ch. 1 through Turnitin. Either people did excellently and provided a detailed outline or summary of the full chapter, or they didn't provide a detailed summary of the whole chapter.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">A comment I often made was that if you use the word 'argument' you must ALWAYS state the conclusion and the premises.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Also, outlines should have 'levels' to them, where the details under a point are indented. That provides structure.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">3.
