Since we didn't have any group discussion time, we didn't get to set out a dedicated author. I'm remedying that here.
The last class was spent making up for lost time due to last Thursday's class being canceled. We had a crash session on two days of content.
Place your FQ's, DQ's, Links and commentary here, so we can get back on track.

This is an overview on morals with Kant
I really wish we had time for Voltaire the other day. He is probably my favorite of the “recognized” philosophers (Carlin still wins overall honors). I am particularly fond of his views on freedom of speech- "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it”- and his passive aggressive methods for bringing issues the power-that-be find objectionable into debate.
ReplyDeleteCandide was a great example of this. He put together an indictment on the Pope, Leibniz, and optimists in general who like to think everything is good to go just because it is. The success of Candide however, came from its entertainment value as a parody. Voltaire knew that to get the people to accept a message, you needed a successful way to get it to them and comedy, as it does now, was a winner at communicating a message.
FQ: What is another name for utilitarianism?
Answer: The Great Happiness Principle
DQ: Do you feel that Kant’s feelings on how man treats an animal shows his true colors is applicable to the incidents where law enforcement officers shoot dogs who pose questionable threats to officer safety?
Link: For your reference about the dog shooting question posed above. This incident happened in Racine, Wisconsin when a SWAT team deployed to handle an incident regarding violent threats made by the dog's owner.
