There is a really popular class here called "Justice" which involves a critical analysis of classical and contemporary theories of justice. Why should you care? 'coz the lectures are available online! Ok, so the first 2 are available for everyone, but you need a Harvard ID to see the rest. I watched the first lecture this afternoon and I think it is really worth your 40 minutes. The course begins with challenging Bentham's notion that utility maximization should be the guiding principle for 'moral' decisions. This should be of particular interest to Econ majors out there since much of economics rests on welfare maximization. Check out the videos here.Friday, April 28, 2006
