This module deals with selected ethical issues that can be drawn from the theme of morally privileged relationships, as discussed in the Anglo-American analytic tradition. While the actual topic to be dealt with may differ from semester to semester, they all revolve around the concern to analyze the nature of the relationship in question, to assess critically the theoretical claims about the obligations and rights of the moral agent as a party to specified types of relationships within the family, as well as to examine claims about the nature of the relationship between family and community.
