Thank you very much Professor Michael J. Sandel because of you I fulfill with my knowledge in law and got excellent experience. Best regards from Asia.
I will never be able to thank prof. Sanders for the eye opening experience of watching his entire course on-line. It changed the way I think on many subjects
@@brentturno861 I posted a reply almost a week ago, don't know what happened to it. So here it is again :) The whole 2005 course can be found on RU-vid, here is the first lecture: ru-vid.com/group/PL30C13C91CFFEFEA6
I think it to be just that ALL the courses around ALL the universities around the world should be open to ALL the people!!! We have the technology and everything, don't we? So what does stop us?! Bring on the JUSTICE!!! Namaste
I have simply watched this opening gambit. Very soft and attractive to the younger generation old pseudo intellectuals. I will be interested to see if the proponent can force them into not deeper introspection but thinking on a higher plane.
That's an excellent idea, except that not all teachers are as clear and engaging as Professor Michael J. Sandel. Also, most of the courses are not introductory courses, they assume previous knowledge, and if people just watch those, without context, they will be very likely mislead, and that's worse than not giving them the resources. We need a proper managed system, Professor Sandel is starting this, be patient, the time will come, very soon - for QUALITY global education.
I know. "Marriage is for procreation hurrr durr." He still never explained how sex is a morally relevant factor in the discussion of same sex marriage. He argues that sex is a unifying act between a man and a woman. So what if it is? How does that make it wrong for someone use sex (or marriage) outside the normal convention?
Biologically speaking, sex is for biological procreation. Humans should be/are more than animals, hence the psycho- social connotations. Marriage was a form of social contract sanctioned by the religious authorities. Luckily, the religious authorities have, at least seemingly, relinquished that function in somewhat saner societies. Therefore, in my opinion, the institution of marriage is conceptually obsolete.
