This is an introductory level course, so no previous knowledge is assumed. It is suitable for those on a recovery journey, for those seeking to use their own experience to help others or for those simply curious about mental health. It follows on from part 1 but it is not essential to have completed that to do this course.
Teaching is a mix of short presentations of key ideas, challenging open questions and lots of open discussion in small groups online.

Philosophy: Virtue and Vice: The Origin and Nature of Virtue Ethics
Virtue Ethics is one of the three most commonly cited forms of ethical theory, alongside Deontology (Duty-based ethics) and Consequentialism. Unlike other moral theories, however, each of which attempt to formulate criteria or rules for the rightness or wrongness of different actions, Virtue ethics argues that moral judgements are so context-sensitive that such rules are impossible to find. Rather, ‘good’ and ‘bad’ are judgements about the virtue or otherwise of a person’s character and their ability to have sound moral judgement. This course will explore Virtue ethics from its beginnings in the works of Aristotle to its modern renaissance via the works of thinkers from Philippa Foot to Alasdair MacIntyre.
