80-830 Seminar on Ethical Theory

9–12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This seminar will focus on classic and contemporary accounts of moral and political autonomy and their application to current topics in ethics, political philosophy, and global justice. We will pay especial attention to the neorepublican notion of freedom as non-domination, how and to what extent this concept interacts with competing conceptions of autonomy, and what can be gained or lost by applying the neorepublican framework to various debates.
