RLST040 PO - Religious Ethics

When Offered: Last offered spring 2021.
Instructor(s): O. Eisenstadt
Credit: 1

What is ethics? To whom and for whom am I responsible? Where do these responsibilities come from? What do the various religious traditions of the world have to say about these questions? To what extent do they lay claim to the question of ethics, a question on which the philosophical traditions also have a lot to say? Do religious traditions generally say the same thing about morality, or do they differ on ethical fundamentals? In this course we begin to think about these difficult questions, through philosophy, religious text and literature.
