The central question with which this course is concerned is: what is the nature of the understanding someone has when they engage with their moral concerns. These moral concerns are considered to arise in relatively ordinary situations of the kinds presented in life, literature and film. These situations include decisions about what to do, wondering how to live, questions of whether one is under a moral obligation, contemplation of shame or guilt.
