We often assume that moral behavior is inherently good. Cultural history abounds with efforts to better human beings, from education and philosophical reflection to religious practices and punishments. Recently, some transhumanists have advocated for genetic and psychopharmacological enhancements as new frontiers in moral enhancement. Yet, moralizing also drives societal divisions and fuels political polarization, particularly in pluralistic societies with diverse value systems. This tension raises the question: Is it actually good to be good? What is morality for? What role does it play in the lives of others and in our own lives? The course offers an introduction to moral anthropology through a combination of theoretical discussions and practical ethnographic fieldwork.
