Extract

As I began to write this paper, I was forced to confront, consciously, a fact which I had previously acknowledged only tacitly, viz., that there exists a plethora of issues — pedagogical, philosophical, political, and psychological, as well as disciplinary — which must be addressed. Not wanting to ignore any of these issues and in hopes of provoking a discussion of the role of the humanities in ethics courses, I have coached the paper in the form of “reflections”. I shall first describe, without too much comment, the devising of such an ethics course and the general issues such a course raises, and secondly, I shall reflect upon the role of the humanities in such a course.
