Just watched the first video "The Moral Side of Murder" and think this guy does a brilliant job. It looks like a very engaging class.




The rest of the course dealing with other philosophical issues is available here - http://www.justiceharvard.org/index...g&id=9&Itemid=5

Cliff, the trolley problem is a famous thought experiment in philosophy... they're concerned about ethics, so I don't think any of them actually lost some sleep trying to understand how trolleys work :p

Yea but the argument is flawed because its impossible.


The better would be a combination between the two...


A trolley car with a conductor is going down a hill uncontrolled. On the same track as the trolley is a work crew who will be killed. On a siding is a brick wall.

You are standing at the switch between the two tracks, you can throw the switch and kill the conductor of the trolley or let it continue and kill the work crew.


See Lira, ing logical two seconds of thought makes a much more believable and possible situation.

Because higher education has nothing to do with intelligence in the U.S. or any other country that doesn't make you test into the specific schools.
