BECOMING GOOD
SEEKING MORAL VALUE IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD

If the idea of an absolute good is to be abandoned, as many voices in the philosophical tradition have suggested (often unhappily), is it necessary to accept that moral value amounts to nothing more than personal opinion? This course examines responses to this question as thinkers from Aristotle to Simone de Beauvoir struggle to articulate the meaning of moral value in the midst of ordinary, complicated, uncertain human experience.
