Orthodox Life I - Eastern Christian Understanding of Ethics and the Person

Orthodox Christian thought has always been deeply concerned with ethical-social issues of the daily encounter with life and culture, but grounds solutions to these issues in tradition, not 'progress'. This course will follow an opening overview of the dilemma of ethical decision-making with a set of problems which touch on personal self-recognition. Issues under discussion will include personal rights, identity, gender, disability, and bioethical and other life concerns.
