A. Rationale/Justification for the Course
This course is part of the M.A. in Philosophy, emphasizing philosophical methodology and social justice. An
education in ethics and social justice should include an understanding of the similarities and differences
between world ethical traditions. One should examine the Western philosophical approaches to ethics and
compare and contrast them with the approaches of other major philosophical or religious traditions. This course
complements courses in theoretical and applied Western ethics, Western philosophical methodologies, and
comparative epistemology and metaphysics.

PHIL 528 Comparative Ethics Syllabus “While the ethical guidelines of different religions and philosophies have much in common, each is based on a certain view of the world and of human beings’ place in it. Such a world-­‐view gives particular emphases to the related ethical system, gives it a particular kind of rationale, and provides particular forms of motivation for acting in accord with it.” (Peter Harvey, An Introduction to Buddhist Ethics) Instructor: Professor Margaret Crouch Office: 702C Pray-­‐Harrold Office Hours: MW 9:00-­‐11:00; 12:30-­‐1:45 and by appointment Telephone: 734/487-­‐0908; 734/487-­‐1018 (messages) Fax: 734/487-­‐6835 E-­‐Mail: mcrouch@emich.edu (best way to get in touch) Mailbox: Dept. of History and Philosophy, 701 Pray-­‐Harrold Catalog Description A theoretical and practical examination of comparative ethics, including the nature and justification of a comparative approach to ethics, a comparison of major ethical traditions from around the world, and the application of these traditions to particular ethical issues. Course Description One purpose of this course is to introduce you to a comparative approach to ethics. Such an approach requires a different method than that you may be familiar with. First, we shall consider what constitutes a comparative philosophical approach generally, and the differences between such an approach and more standard Western philosophical perspectives. Because of these differences, the structure of the course varies from standard ethics courses. Not every philosophical tradition has developed as Western philosophy has. Most traditions, including Western tradition, are based in an ancient religious or philosophical textual or oral tradition, and their ethical perspective develops from this. Thus, we will begin with the traditional religious ethical perspectives of Western tradition, Judaism, Islam and Christianity. We shall then move to consider the standard Western ethical theories. Though many of you will have already studied the most prominent Western approaches to ethics, one always benefits from further study and review. Thus, we shall some spend time on deontology, consequentialism, virtue ethics, and the ethics of care. We then move to Asian traditions—Confucian, Daoist, and Hindu-­‐-­‐and end with indigenous and African traditions. Finally, we shall examine applications of these traditions in the areas of bioethics and environmental ethics. Miller, New Course

Course Policies COURSE POLICIES I start from the assumption that you are responsible adults. This means that you know what is required of you in a college course. You are to do all reading on time, hand in assignments on time, be in class on time, stay in class for the whole period, and organize the rest of your life to accommodate these obligations to the best of your ability. I understand that no one is in complete control of his or her life, and that sometimes one or all of these obligations is not possible, or not possible without too great a degree of disruption in other parts of your life. If this should occur, you must let me know as soon as you can. Further, if you are unsure about anything in the readings or assignments, I am happy to answer questions. However, it is your responsibility to let me know that something is unclear to you. POLICY ON LATE EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS Late papers are a nuisance for everyone and can be unfair to other students. If you know that you will be unable to hand in a paper at the scheduled time, the best thing to do is to make arrangements to turn it in early. If an emergency prevents you from turning in the paper at the scheduled time, please contact me as soon as possible. I will require some kind of official verification of the emergency (funeral notice, doctor’s note, etc.) before I can allow you to turn in the paper. I know this seems heartless when you have lost a loved one, but people are not always truthful, and I must strive to maintain fairness. I retain the right to refuse to accept a late paper if the student is unable to provide such verification. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY “Academic dishonesty, including all forms of cheating, falsification, and/or plagiarism, will not be tolerated in this course. Penalties for an act of academic dishonesty may range from receiving a failing grade for a particular assignment to receiving a failing grade for the entire course. In addition, you may be referred to the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards for discipline that can result in either a suspension or permanent dismissal. The Student Conduct Code contains detailed definitions of what constitutes academic dishonesty but if you are not sure about whether something you are doing would be considered academic dishonesty, consult with the course instructor. You may access the Code online at: www.emich.edu/student conduct/. “(Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards) If plagiarism or cheating is confirmed, you will receive a failing grade for the course. SEVIS STUDENTS “The Student exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) requires F and J students to report the following to the Office of International Students 244 EMU Student Center within ten (10) days of the event: •
Changes in your name, local address, major field of study, or source of funding; •
Changes in your degree-­‐completion date; •
Changes in your degree-­‐level (ex Bachelors to Masters) •
Intent to transfer to another school. •
Prior permission from OIS is needed for the following: •
Dropping ALL courses as well as carrying or dropping BELOW minimum credit hours; •
Employment on or off-­‐campus; •
Registering for more than one ONLINE course per term (F visa only) •
Endorsing I-­‐20 or DS-­‐2019 for re-­‐entry into the USA. Miller, New Course

Failure to report may result in the termination of your SEVIS record and even arrest and deportation. If you have questions or concerns, contact the Office of International Students at 734.487.3116, not the course instructor.” (Office of International Students) STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES “If you wish to be accommodated for your disability, EMU Board of Regents Policy 8.3 requires that you first register with the Students with Disabilities Office (SDO) in 240 EMU Student Center. You may contact SDO by telephone (734.487.2470). Students with disabilities are encouraged to register with the SDO promptly as you will only be accommodated from the date you register with them forward. No retroactive accommodations are possible.” (Students with Disabilities Office) FERPA “The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law designated to protect the privacy of a student’s education records and academic work. The law applies to all schools and universities which receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education and is applicable to students at EMU. All files, records, and academic work completed within this course are considered educational records and are protected under FERPA. It is your right, as a student in this course, to expect that any materials you submit in this course, as well as your name and other identifying information, will not be viewable by guests or other individuals permitted access to the course. The exception will be only when you have given explicit, written, signed consent. Verbal consent or email is insufficient.” RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS “Current University policy recognizes the rights of students to observe religious holidays without penalty to the student. Students will provide advance notice to the instructor in order to make up work, including examinations, they miss as a result of their absence from class due to observance of religious holidays. If satisfactory arrangements cannot be made with the instructor, the student may appeal to the school director or head(s) of department(s) in which the course(s) is / are offered.” (University Policy 6.2.5) GUIDELINES FOR CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR Classroom civility is required. In order to insure that everyone feels free to voice his or her opinion in class, we must take care not to intimidate anyone. Classroom civility also requires respecting the right of other students to learn. This requires being on time for class and staying until the class is over, listening while others are speaking, refraining from talking or making noise while others are speaking, and being careful not to monopolize the discussion or take it too far afield. All telephones and pagers and other electronic devices, except laptops, must be turned off during class. You may not leave the room to answer the telephone unless it is an emergency. If you have an emergency, let me know before class. If you must come in late or leave the room briefly during class, you should be as quiet as possible. Try to time your bathroom breaks between classes. :) For example, do not walk in late and come to the front of the room, interrupting the discussion or presentation in progress. All devices that connect you with the internet or anything similar must be turned off during class, unless I ask you to look up something for the class. EMU WRITING SUPPORT The University Writing Center (115 Halle Library) offers one-­‐to-­‐one writing consulting for both undergraduate and graduate students.

However, Western religions have informed these traditional ethical perspectives. The focus of this week’s content introduces Western religious ethics and their relationship to secular ethics. A number of non-­‐Western approaches to ethics tend to be overtly based in religion, so it is necessary to understand the relationship of Western ethical traditions to religion in order to compare these traditions to non-­‐Western ethical traditions.
