Marianne is director of studies in philosophy for Oxford University’s Department for Continuing Education. She specialises in ethics and the philosophy of mind. Marianne was thrown out of school at 15 for truancy and disruption.
After a brief and inglorious career in sales at 18 Marianne set off to hitch-hike – on her own – to Australia where she lived for three years before returning home through Africa.
Starved of intellectual stimulation, Marianne started an Open University course, during which she discovered philosophy. She went to London University (Bedford College) to study full-time, achieved a First Class Degree, then moved to Oxford to do graduate work. Marianne has now taught philosophy for Oxford University for 24 years. She was at Pembroke College from 1987-1990 and Brasenose College from 1990-2000. She started her current job in 2001).

In this introduction to ethics, we shall be considering the underpinnings of ethical thought. We shall consider, for example, what it is for an action to be right or wrong, whether we can have moral knowledge and whether freewill is essential to morality.
We shall reflect on four key ethical theories (virtue ethics, deontology, non-cognitivism and utilitarianism), looking at both their strengths and their weaknesses. We shall be looking at morality in the context of the individual and the context of society.
