Forums - Politics - A series of lectures at Harvard on morality and ethics...

Looks like PBS broadcast this a few years ago:

Its a very good video. That guy is a great teacher and an interesting person to listen to. Its about morality and how people think what is "correct" and what is "wrong". Very interesting but long video.

POM Wonderful sponsored this? I tried to watch it but the movie was just too slow. could barely get passed the POM commercial thing. Could you tell me and everyone else what it was about?

They also sponsored the Greatest Story Ever Told.  The lectures here, is about the philosophical basis of justice.

That was just parts 1 and 2.  There is I believe at least 5 more videos there.  That was actually a class that was over 1 full semester.

Are you going to upload the rest for us? Maybe do a little essay about it or something?

Harvard uploaded the rest on YouTube.  That is their account, for anyone to watch, if interested.  I watched the entire thing, which is about as far as I will go do anything with it, outside of think more about it.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing these on BBC 4 last year as part of a mini series.  They were all very interesting




What's interesting is i just read a couple articles about this book.

Tagged. I'm currently taking an Ethics class, so this should be helpful. Even though I hate classes like these.

I actually read the spanish translation of a book written by this guy with the same title (after translation). It is a simply awesome book. It holds so much valuable information to be honest; I don't think I need to get an Ethics class now since I read and understood the book. I think I can confidently argue about morals now and I'm clearer on what side of the moral arguments I stand.
