Faith traditions like Christianity have much to teach us in this regard, and should not be neglected in this new proposed component. Many Harvard classes, like Wolfson Professor of Jewish Studies Jay M. Harris’ Moral Reasoning 54: “If There Is No God, All Is Permitted,” already take on these concerns.
