The Fragility of Goodness

#1  Postby Spinozasgalt » Nov 09, 2011 9:24 am

This is an old half-hour video where Nussbaum discusses among other things the Greek Tragedians; her picture of the moral order and how it contains the possibility to be morally destroyed, along with the prospects for a conversation between politics and poetry.



I'm sure many will disagree with her and I don't pretend to know where I stand on her thought when I haven't read her, but then that's part of what draws me to listen and what will hopefully encourage others. I thought I'd post it for members who have an interest in moral philosophy and especially an interest in various pictures of the moral life.
You've got a famous last name, but you're not to blame.
Baby, I see you for who you are.

In what way?
Lycan- "I will not claim, here or ever, to 'explain consciousness'. For that would be to explain each of any number of different things, a set of Herculean empirical and philosophical tasks." SoS-"Woosie!!"
