This module introduces philosophy as a practice of making and testing reasons, not as a catalogue of famous opinions. You will compare major ethical approaches and apply them to a concrete policy or personal dilemma without collapsing disagreement into mere preference.

Keep a Position Ledger: for each issue, record your initial judgment, strongest reason, strongest objection, revision, and what remains unresolved.
