Administrators can be found in government, NGOs, schools, hospitals, the armed forces, for-profit businesses, etc. This course strives to address two key questions: What responsibilities do these administrators have to others? And why do they have such responsibilities? Analytical methods presented in the course help to answer these questions. Students will be expected to understand the justification for each of these methods, be able to apply them to cases discussed in class, and ultimately be able to recommend and defend what actions administrators ought to take according to each method. In conjunction with the above analytical tools, the course will also introduce a variety of “thinking methods,” such as formal logic, thought experiments, and game theory, which underlie the tools. NOTE:Students can receive credit for only one of PHIL 2251, PHIL 3251, and PHIL 3262. While this course is open to all students, only one upper division course in applied ethics (PHIL 3204, PHIL 3206, PHIL 3207, PHIL 3208, PHIL 3209, PHIL 3211, PHIL 3261, PHIL 3262) counts towards the major or Honours requirements, without permission of chair or advisor.
