New Emory Mini-Ethics School:
Monday evenings from February 16 to March 22
What is the good life and how do you live it? Is there such a thing as evil, and if so what is its nature? How does ethics relate to vocation and professionalism? What are the ethical implications of new biomedical research like genetics and business scandals like Enron? What does ethics have to say about the state of civil society in America?
Taught by the faculty and staff of the Center for Ethics, the Mini-Ethics School is offered through the Emory Center for Lifelong Learning (formerly Evening at Emory). The short course is intended for interested adult learners who wish to expand their understanding of ethical issues.
Cost for the six sessions is $90, and enrollment arrangements can be made through the Emory Center for Lifelong Learning at (404) 727-6000.
The tentative schedule is as follows:
February 16: What is ethics? How do we do ethics?
February 23: What is the good life? How do we determine our vocation?
March 1: Evil, genocide, and terrorism.
March 8: Health care ethics, bioethics, genetics, and medical error.
March 15: Ethics and the professions. Business and legal ethics.
March 22: To be determined from student input.
