This unit considers classic ethical questions about the nature of the good life and moral obligation through a comparative lens. Canonical Western moral philosophers such as Aristotle, Hume, Kant, and Mill are discussed alongside representatives of other less commonly studied philosophical traditions. These other traditions may include: ancient Chinese philosophy, Buddhist philosophy, feminist philosophy, and the philosophy of race.
