RST 233 Comparative Religious Ethics
In this class, students will consider the underlying assumptions and worldviews shaping ethics within [as least two different/several different] religions, as well as the different ethical approaches these religions take when facing moral issues in our shared world. A comparison of religious ethical praxis, the course investigates the action incited by different religious understanding, social teaching and/or dogma with regard to particular contexts/ ethical issues; and asks what can be learned about ethics, religion, social action, etc., from such a comparison. Religions considered and ethical issues addressed will vary by semester.
