Parts of Aristotle and Kant works
Since we did not finish with Kant, you can just focus on Aristotle. You’re welcome to bring Kant into the discussion, but it is not a requirement.
The point of the weekly discussion posts is provide a more open-ended space for you to discuss the readings. There is not a highly specific prompt, but you should answer the following:
What parts of Aristotle and Kant’s works do you agree or disagree with? Do you agree more with Aristotle or Kant? Explain.
You are also welcome think about and respond to:
- similar themes between the articles or other connections you noticed
- dissimilarities in which both positions are valuable for different reasons (even if the theories are themselves antithetical)
- how these readings have further shaped (or even changed) your understanding of ethics
