Comment:

I was a bioethics Minor at UVa way back in the day. Professor Arras was my mentor. He uses a makeshift textbook to teach his material. Extremely cerebral/brainy -- very nice man with a great heart. 6 yrs later and I still keep in touch with him!

Do yourself a favor and take a class with Professor Arras. He is incredibly intelligent and keeps students engaged. What you learn and how you learn it are unique to his classes---you are really missing out on something if you don't fight to get into one of his classes!

Comment:

I've had Arras for both Research Ethics and his seminar on Global Justice. Each is fantastic. I learned a great deal and he made the material so incredibly interesting. Even if you're not majoring/minoring in these specifics topics, the material is applicable to just about any field. He's not exactly the easiest grader but his classes are worth it.

Comment:

I've taken both his Death and Dying 100-level and Justice and Healthcare 300-level. Both courses are excellent. He's the best philosophy professor I've encountered and probably one of the better professors in the college. He's extremely witty and not afraid to express his own opinions, yet for our small discussion-based course he welcomed debate.

Comment:

He'll give you some of the most entertaining lines you'll ever hear. "Leon Cass doesn't believe in the identity problem...he thinks it's just a bunch of philosophers in a circle jerk." And aside from the entertainment value (more importantly), he's an amazing professor. Down to earth, KNOWS what he's talking about. TAKE A CLASS WITH HIM!!!!!
