TH 397 - Ethics after God

(3.00 cr.)

Prerequisite: TH 201 . Ethics can be "after God" in two senses-by proceeding as if God's nonexistence is irrelevant or by following, in obedience, after God. This seminar explores both of these approaches and their relation by examining topics of interest to both: what it means to live well; love, freedom, and identity; and the concepts of holiness, virtue, the sacred, the horrendous, and divine commands.
