This concentration will give you a variety of different theoretical tools to help ask and answer such questions.
Students must take three of the following courses:
At least one of the three must cover ethical theory (24.02, 24.04, 24.120, 24.231). A concentration proposal must be approved by the Ethics Concentration Advisor. If appropriate, the Ethics Concentration Advisor may approve courses other than those listed above.
Concentration credit in philosophy is obtained by first filing a proposal
form with the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy and afterwards submitting
a certificate of completion form. Proposal and completion forms are available
at the department office in 32-D808, the HASS Office in 14N-408, or through
UAAO in 7-104. Both forms are reviewed and signed by the ethics concentration
advisor. When the completion form is filed, it must be accompanied
by a copy of the Registrar's transcript or grade report that gives proof that
the subjects have been completed with a passing grade. Please circle
the three subjects on the submitted transcript or grade report.
Professor Rayo is available for consultation. Please contact Professor Rayo at 617-253-2559 or arayo@mit.edu for an appointment. Please feel free to leave all relevant forms and grade reports in the main office, Bldg. 32-D808 for Prof. Rayo's signature.
