Ethics in Your Life: Being, Thinking, Doing (or Not?)
A seminar from MIT's Philosophy section, run jointly with the Radius program, that works through ethical questions students actually face rather than a fixed historical syllabus. Sessions mix short lectures with guided discussion, guest faculty visits, and required attendance at on- and off-campus events tied to the term's chosen topics, which shift depending on who is enrolled. Students keep up with readings and use class time to test arguments against each other, then move into smaller group work where they draft and defend their own personal and professional principles. The course leans on MIT OpenCourseWare materials: a syllabus, discussion prompts, and assignment sheets rather than a fixed textbook sequence. It suits someone who wants practice reasoning through real ethical dilemmas in a group setting more than a survey of moral theory from Aristotle to Kant.
