General
 This is an introductory course on ethics and moral philosophy, intended to help students examine some of the most relevant contemporary ideas about the good life, human conduct in society, ethical standards and the relations between ethics and economics, and to stimulate critical thinking and rigorous debate about challenges they face or may come to face in their personal and professional lives. It will provide a broad account of today’s dominant moral theories, their historical and philosophical backgrounds and their relations to economics and business. Adding to the relevant academic texts, our discussions will be prompted by an ancient Greek tragedy as well as contemporary cases. The course will also introduce contemporary ethical approaches to organizational behavior, identifying ethical business problems that may arise, and critically assessing potential arguments and solutions on how to avoid them in the future. There is a clear sense of urgency and opportunity in teaching ethics that has been lacking, particularly since the crisis of accounting manipulation in 2008.
