To say that the moral vision of our society has dimmed to a troubling extent is to border on understatement.  In this course we will examine time-honored ethical systems in a quest to illumine moral principles that can guide us through dark and uncertain times.  These systems include Confucian ethics, the ethics of Aristotle, Judeo-Christian ethics, and the utilitarianism of Bentham and Mills.  Along the way we will apply these principles to real life moral situations.
