1. Course Description The course being an introduction to the dynamically growing scholarly fields of "global ethics" which is primarily a sub-discipline of political philosophy, since it deals with the issues related to global justice and injustice and with the question of the very possibility of a meaningful cross-cultural ethical and political conversation leading to consensus, political decisions and action making an impact in the real world in which well over a third of the global population lives below the poverty line. The course is thus designed primarily for students of political science, international relations, economics and other social sciences and humanities (including philosophy), whose future work will require an ability to analyze ethical challenges of the increasingly pluralistic world under the conditions of political, economic and cultural globalization. The course will include only as much ethical theory as is necessary to grasp the basic differences between world's main ethical traditions, while most of the classes will be devoted to discussion of real-life ethical challenges faced at present by humanity in the areas of global politics and economy, as well as in individual lives marked by injustice, unfreedom and destitution. While avoiding the reductionist temptation to play down inter-cultural differences in order to bring out cross-cultural commonalities in various ethical traditions, the course will explore possibilities of a genuinely global consensus with regard to the ethical questions that must be addressed by humankind as a whole.
2. Student Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this course, students should be able to: · Comprehend and have a clear understanding of the basics of the main ethical traditions of the world · Compare and contrast in a culturally informed and sensitive way the diverse approaches of various ethical traditions to the urgent ethical problems of our globalizing world · Apply the tools of the ethical analysis and ethical decision-making in a cross-cultural context
