Ethics (Centre for)

The Centre for Ethics at the University of Toronto fosters research, teaching and public discussion of the moral dimensions of contemporary individual, social and political life. We are committed to the proposition that universities have a distinctive capacity and responsibility to shed light on questions of the moral life, as well as to educate students for reflective citizenship. Fulfilling this responsibility requires that we promote and engage in dialogue about the theory and practice of ethics across disciplinary, cultural, religious and social divides. For information or to make an appointment for consultation contact the Assistant to the Director, 416-978-6288 or e-mail: ethics@utoronto.ca.

Ethics (Centre for) Courses

A senior seminar in ethics, interdisciplinary in content. Running for a full year for a half-course credit, the seminar will expose senior undergraduates to cutting edge research in ethics broadly conceived. Students will attend between six and eight presentations in the Centre for Ethics's Seminar Series, given by eminent ethics scholars from both outside and inside the university and meet with the instructor (who will be the Centre’s Director) to discuss these presentations. (Note that this is an "H1Y" course -- a half-credit course taught throughout both Fall and Winter terms.)
