Subject: Introduction to Ethics Honors - introductory information

Dear students,

Hello. I’ll be your professor for PHIL 161, Introduction to Ethics Honors, and I am writing to you today in order to give you some information that you might find useful as you gear up for the semester.

First, there is one required textbook for this course. It’s The Fundamentals of Ethics, 2nd edition, by Russ Shafer-Landau (Oxford University Press, 2012), ISBN 978-0-19-977355-8. I have asked the KU bookstore to stock this book, or you can buy it elsewhere. There will also be some other required readings, provided on Blackboard. Because of their length, you should be prepared to print them out rather than reading them on a computer screen.

Second, I have set up a web site for the course, at http://www.benegg.net/courses/ethics13. I’ve posted the syllabus there (though I will also hand out hard copies on the first day of class) and I may post other things on the course web site as the course progresses. There won’t be anything there that you’ll be responsible for prior to our first class, so you don’t have to worry about it right away. I just wanted to go on and give you the URL.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to e-mail me. Meanwhile, I’m looking forward to seeing you at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, January 22, in 4011 Wescoe.

Best wishes,

Professor Eggleston
