  1. I took Philosophy and Politics this summer–session I–and it was such an amazing course. 我们使用苏格拉底的方法,在澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究古人(如苏格拉底、柏拉图、亚里士多德等)的同时,我们每周都会就这些解释举行辩论。 这通常会导致抽象思维在现代的应用。We then shifted to modern-day philosophers and the applications of ‘Just War Theory.’ Everyone in the course brought a separate perspective, and this allowed for, not only strong interest in the material, but also active and true “learning.” It was simple in terms of materials (e.g. your brain), yet complex ancient literature (e.g. Greeks & Romans). 这门课最大的特点是培养学生的能力和兴趣,为解决复杂问题打下基础。
    Yes, business and engineering degrees give you jobs, but I feel very few students truly know how to “think.” 在文艺复兴时期,受教育程度是通过对人文科学的掌握程度来衡量的。 拥有商学学位并不意味着一个人受过教育。 It’s practical and has some advantages, but it’s also far from elite in terms of thought or knowledge. 商业本身永远无法解决社会面临的复杂问题。 We need a healthy combination of science and humanities in order to move from academic to applied–via life. If anything, the absence of ethics and, perhaps, unintended consequences to society thru Wall Street are a plaque when exercised without answering imperative questions (e.g. how much is enough, what’s the return back to society, does one need or deserve massive bonus for doing their job, etc.)
    Personally, I wish I had taken more philosophy courses and I think what this alum is doing is exactly what we need–non sensationalist media and critical thought about all facets of life and policy. It also re-defines our obligations as citizens–something Aristotle felt was an active, on-going, and life-long obligation. 不幸的是,大多数人并不在乎,只是回到他们的iphone上。

  2. You say,
    亚当·斯密的多元论:理性、教育与道德情操.
    “It’s investigating notions of justice,” he says, “and an alternative
    interpretation of Smith, rather than the libertarian, conservative
    understanding.”

    万岁! 当我读斯密时,我感到对斯密的普遍理解只是一种对偏见的粗暴确认,这让我感到不安。 我很期待这本书。
