Ethics and Social and Political Philosophy at Guelph

Ethics and Social and Political Philosophy are interrlated fields that explore the values of the individual and society, what constitutes moral right and wrong, what our obligations are to others, the nature of justice, and the structure and legislative authority of the state.
