The course enables students to develop their critical thinking skills on the basis of an analysis of contemporary ethical debates.
Various theories and major ethical currents are addressed, providing students with sufficient theoretical background to develop rigorous argumentation.
This will be achieved by contrasting different ethical analyses of the same case, as well as through exercises in which students will learn to develop their own argumentation on a case or question, with particular attention to transitional issues.
The course has a dual objective.
The first is to enable students to develop an ethical argument based on various major currents (theoretical training).
The second is to learn how to apply these theories to concrete issues and cases in Belgium and elsewhere (elaboration).
The course is structured in three main parts.
Part I: Introduction to business ethics (concepts)
Part II: Major ethical trends (consequentialism, deontology, virtue, care ethics) and issues of distributive justice in economics.
Part III: Application of major theories to current issues, with a focus on globalization and transition issues.
Two essays are organized
- Writing an essay and developing an argument
- Individual feedback following the first essay
