What does it mean when we say something is 'good'? Is 'goodness' a real thing that we should all strive for? How do we understand morality if 'good' is nothing but a word? In this course, we will be unpacking the language of ethical terminology and coming to grips with abstract ideas that we use every day. We will be looking at the semantics, psychology and metaphysics of the most popular meta-ethical theories and those who advocate them. You will be able to argue for and against these theories and structure your essays accordingly. Perfect for A-Level students, philosophy undergraduates, or those who crave to know why things are categorised as 'good' or 'bad'. This introductory course will equip you with an understanding of ethics from philosophical, linguistic and psychological perspectives.
