LDRS 503 Leadership Ethics
Great leaders are both morally good themselves and inspire moral goodness in those they lead. This course is an advanced introduction to the philosophical study of morality. In it we examine the nature of virtue, duty, and the general welfare. Particular attention is paid to Aristotle’s account of the development of moral character. The course is designed to help students develop their abilities to read, explain, analyze and evaluate philosophical literature, express their own ethical views, and think critically about ethical issues.
