Moral Normative Analysis I
Readings
Cases
Synopsis
Today we began our first run through a set of cases so as to explore their moral normative complexities in light of the resources we've developed this semester. As is usual, this first case discussion day was light on resources and heavy on intuition. We'll increasingly draw on the theoretical resources we've developed as we move on to further cases this week, hopefully improving our grasp of them and gaining some skill in seeing recurrent issues and conflicts as they arise in the context of analogous cases.
We focused our discussion today on the Affluenza, Show Me The Money, and Drug Pushers cases, in that order.
Lecture Video
I don't know if this is particularly helpful, given the nature of class discussion, but here is a video of the class (literally) as we discussed the several cases above.
