Announcement: Introductory Ethical Philosophy Course Available Online and on Many PBS Stations

Michael J. Sandel's famous introduction to ethical philosophy course at
Harvard University, <i>Justice</i>,
is becoming available on video both <a href="http://www.justiceharvard.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=categor…; target="”_blank”"><b>online</b></a>
and on many PBS stations across the country (dates and times vary; in some
areas, the segments have just begun running; the first two segments are
available online). This course should provide an excellent background
for those interested in government ethics and, starting with Episode
Ten: The Good Citizen (available online November 19), it focuses on
government and community ethics.<br>
<br>
Sandel is quoted as saying, "The title is <i>Justice</i>, but in a way the subject
is citizenship ... the aim is not to try to persuade students, but to
equip them to become politically-minded citizens."<br>
