Food Ethics
Eating has become a complicated activity. We will examine some of the hard ethical questions facing policymakers and individuals: How should government regulate our food choices? When, if ever, is it ethical to eat animals? Are there any moral reasons to favor local food producers? Is gluttony a moral fault?
From epistemology to ethics, philosophy courses cover specialized and interdisciplinary topics.
