it's sad that NBC thinks that a decent discussion of the trolley problem, R. v. Dudley and Stephens, and Aristotle's Politics can be crammed into a banter-y four minutes.

Thanks for this post. I am amazed that he could be relevant even in such a contrived situation. His BBC Reith lectures on Citizenship this year were enlightening, fascinating, and thought-provoking. I went onturning his ideas and arguments around in my mind for days. An absolutre delight: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00kt7rg

Thanks Tamas for reminding me of those lectures. I had mentioned them in the past, and have now added a link to the post.
Cheers, Dan

Very inspiring professor! This is what I believe: From the depths of your being to the outmost periphery, you recollect and construct forms that you believe, will fit the contents of your world intuitively yet precisely, until you realize your dream, or you realize your mistake. (Motto of my site.)
