BakersDozen Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 One of my co-op students (one of the good ones...I'm willing to do another class just for her) asked me to lead an Ethics course. She is currently taking Philosophy and Psychology and is really looking for something not text-heavy. I found this book on Amazon and wonder if you think I could use it as a "springboard" for discussion/topics? The idea is that the students would read essays on a particular topic and we would discuss in class plus they would research one news story/article each week to support/refute their view on the topic. I only have one semester for this class.https://www.amazon.com/Ethics-Real-World-Essays-Things/dp/069117847X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1545950364&sr=8-1&keywords=Ethics+in+the+Real+World%3A+82+Brief+Essays+on+Things+That+Matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I don't think I'd want to do a whole course that was just Peter Singer. He's... um... a bit of a lightning rod. In my dreams, I've written a whole course to go around The Good Place. Can you just watch The Good Place and read short texts and have discussions? You said light... I'm only half joking.

cintinative Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) I have a couple volume set for Christian Ethics that a friend gave to me to sell that used to be used for Sonlight https://www.amazon.com/Readings-Christian-Ethics-Issues-Applications/dp/0801020565 https://www.amazon.com/Readings-Christian-Ethics-Theory-Method/dp/0801025818/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=35WTGJ8JKNGCJR8WJGN2 I know nothing about these. ETA: please note publication date--a reviewer noted some concepts are dated. If you are interested in them, I will ship them for just media mail plus paypal fee (no cost for actual books).

Pen Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 How about coming up with topics and letting students research and think rather than using a book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Crown Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) Dh recommends Shafer's text for a high school homeschool class: https://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Ethics-Russ-Shafer-Landau/dp/0190631392/ref=dp_ob_title_bk ETA: He suggests using an earlier and therefore cheaper edition.
