Announcement: Introductory Ethical Philosophy Course Available Online and on Many PBS Stations

Michael J. Sandel's famous introduction to ethical philosophy course at Harvard University, Justice, is becoming available on video both online and on many PBS stations across the country (dates and times vary; in some areas, the segments have just begun running; the first two segments are available online). This course should provide an excellent background for those interested in government ethics and, starting with Episode Ten: The Good Citizen (available online November 19), it focuses on government and community ethics.

Sandel is quoted as saying, "The title is Justice, but in a way the subject is citizenship ... the aim is not to try to persuade students, but to equip them to become politically-minded citizens."
