BA Ethics

Keio has six tenured faculty members dedicated to the Department of Ethics. Traditionally, many of our faculty members have expertise in the schools of thought and histories of modern Germany, France, and Britain. But the Department of Ethics also offers a wide variety of courses that cater to broader student interests. The department also places an emphasis on education and research in applied ethics, which addresses contemporary social issues in a new light by examining bioethics, environmental ethics, information ethics, business ethics, and global ethics, among others. It also addresses ethics in terms of schools of religious thought, in particular Christianity, as well as in terms of law and politics.
