During an ethics bowl, teams of high school students discuss ethical dilemmas taking place at the forefront of our world. Such dilemmas might include: how we ought to deal with assisted-death, artificial intelligence, and gene editing.
What makes an ethics bowl different from a debate is that students are encouraged to amend their original positions when faced with counter-evidence, and to view the case as the target of opposition, not the other team. This format allows students to explore difficult ideas in a collaborative atmosphere which is conducive to truth-seeking, collegiality, and open-mindedness.
Traditionally, the Ethics Bowl was run by the Philosophy Department at the University of Toronto, Mississauga. However, over the last few months UTM has started a partnership with other Ontario universities to help guide this extraordinary event into the future.
