PHIL 1050

An introduction to ethical questions that arise in the practice of science. The course will explore a variety of ethical questions associated with the study and practice of science. Students will learn about the nature of philosophical approaches to ethics and how to employ these insights to the tasks of recognizing and reflecting on ethical issues that arise when engaged in scientific research and practice. One section of this course is offered as part of the Dalhousie Integrated Science Program and relates to the specific scientific topics studied within that program where it serves as one-half of the writing requirement for first year students and is available to DISP students only.
