PART ONE: THE GOOD CITIZEN
Aristotle believes the purpose of politics is to promote and cultivate the virtue of its citizens. The telos or goal of the state and political community is the good life. And those citizens who contribute most to the purpose of the community are the ones who should be most rewarded. But how do we know the purpose of a community or a practice? Aristotles theory of justice leads to a contemporary debate about golf. Sandel describes the case of Casey Martin, a disabled golfer, who sued the PGA after it declined his request to use a golf cart on the PGA Tour. The case leads to a debate about the purpose of golf and whether a players ability to walk the course is essential to the game.
PART TWO: FREEDOM VS. FIT
How does Aristotle address the issue of individual rights and the freedom to choose? If our place in society is determined by where we best fit, doesnt that eliminate personal choice? What if I am best suited to do one kind of work, but I want to do another? In this lecture, Sandel addresses one of the most glaring objections to Aristotles views on freedom-his defense of slavery as a fitting social role for certain human beings. Students discuss other objections to Aristotles theories and debate whether his philosophy overly restricts the freedom of individuals.

Sandel NEVER misspeaks or displays ANY sort of verbal tic. Everything he says is 100% coherent and seemingly thought through, almost as if he's reading from a script made by a brilliantly gifted writer. It's the same whether he's doing these lectures, the BBC4 public philosophy shows or various interviews. It really is not just pretty impressive but truly awe inspiring - especially for a fellow teacher.

Michael Sandel then points out what is at stake: the priority between goodness and right, and the definition of a free person, which are topics of the next class. Amazing.

There's also that notion...does being fit for something require the person's heart to be truly in it? Would Aristotle inquire that the person best fit for job is also one that genuinely wants to enter that profession? He seems to only look at it from the matter of inherent skill sets and virtues... I personally believe that an individual's personal motivation can drive them to learn new skills etc. so that they can become good at something they might not be naturally good at. That quality - paired with the consequential hard work and tenacity - is what determines whether a person is fit for something or not.

Aristotle also suggests that the is only one 'end' or 'purpose' for every individual... even if there is that one exclusive thing they're great at, the average person has an array of motivations and skills that they should be able/will want to act upon. Especially in our modern society, where it's very unlikely for a person to stay in one career throughout their whole lives, due to the rise of AI and structural employment... Many people also have interests that are maybe 'inconsistent' with each other, but they're still able to compromise and pursue both of these ideals in some form or another e.g. a scientist who works in lab, but also finds the mean to communicate/entertain audiences through a science broadcast show. Both pursuits require a different set of skills but an individual is capable of doing both. I think Aristotle robs a person of the ability to fully explore their potential (which shouldn't be entirely objective on the grounds of freedom).

From a theoretical perspective, he makes a good point that could be debated within this discussion.

The most significant stressor however seems to be the chase for a score, not so much the walking element.

Sandel elevates ideas of ultimate goodness and perfection, via Aristotle, and the concept of the telos, above more practical goals in resolving political issues, like reaching consensus, and determining what is a fair outcome of a particular political controversy. Aristotle's ideas are not favored by contemporary political philosophy discourse. It results in dysfunction, nonresolution and conflict in the body politic. I suggest taking a look at Richard Rorty's work, which entails a more enlightened view of these topics. Particularly good is his 1990 lecture at Carleton College, entitled Ethics of Principle vs Sensitivity. Search youtube for this.

Justice, freedom and and the good life are being discussed while ignoring the fundamental nature of man and the goal of man's existence which Plato discusses in Timaeus and the Republic. In particular Plato says that we are spirits with orders from the Creator to find our way back to Him. In the Republic Plato discusses the cave and Er's near dead experience. I have been told that an Indian Guru told a class that we are not humans having a spiritual experience but rather spirits having a human experience. The Judo-Christian bible says that people have a spirit which "says" or speaks which agrees with Plato and the Hindus. If man's soul is his character, personality and individuality that also would agree with Plato in Timaeus and the Hindus.

@Eusebeia7 9 жыл бұрын

jikke dobbelaar My understanding is that justice comes from juris as in jurisprudence which is not the science of the law but rather comes from the observation of many cultures that what goes around comes around as in karma. As a real life example, years ago I used to go to church. At the very end of my pew sitting, a ~30 year old agricultural high school drop out type of guy started attending as a new Christian. One Sunday he came to church bent over walking with a cane. I ask why. He said, some guys called him out of his house at night and beat him up. I got really angry and prayer for God to take vengeance right in front of his face. The very next Sunday he came back bug eyed with a friend and pointed me out saying that the same group reassembled then one pulled out a large revolver and murdered another in broad day light. That happened because I had the prudence to stand under juris. Please read on line the entire chapter of , Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws on England, Book 1, Sec. “2 Of the Nature of Laws in general, ” page 41 states "This law of nature, being co-eval with mankind and dictated by God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this; and such of them as are valid derive all their force, and all their authority, mediately or immediately, from this original." and in the forth book which is criminal law, Blackstone said that the highest crime is treason against God while treason against the king was second. If you look in current books on legal analysis they totally ignore God. I have read that this is due to the infamous Erie v Tompkins case. Gen_9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. Pro_16:31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. Pro 8:36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. Act 28:3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. Act 28:4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

I think it is necessary to check if the disabled golfer didn't use a cart when he was taking PGA golf pro test. If he had passed the test without using a golf cart, he would not be able to use that in the PGA games. However, if the situation had been reverse, he would be allowed to use a cart in the games.
