Ethics Class, Session 17: Criteria 47-50

Tonight we are going to try to get through the next set of criteria in the ethics syllabus. (You can get more information at http://andrewtallmanshowethics.blogspot.com.) This means we will be talking about:

47. Explain Social Contract Theory
48. Critique Social Contract Theory
49. Explain Virtue Theory
50. Critique Virtue Theory

In order to facilitate discussion amongst those of you either taking the class or wanting to discuss these ideas in more depth, I will be posting each of the criteria separately without much (if any) actual explanation simply so you can have your discussions on those particular ideas.
