Essential Questions

Community: Are there certain obligations for humanity to treat members of a community and the natural enviornment in a certain way? Are there constraints? If so, are the obligations and constraints based only on a concern for the indirect effects on humanity?

Justice: What are the justifications for, and implications of, claiming that there are universal standards for morality? When moral codes of individuals conflict, can criteria be developed for an international morality that transcends them?

Forgiveness: To what extent does the state of a person's knowledge play in deciding whether an act is right or wrong? Under what conditions would it be legitimate for a person to plead ignorance?

Plato's Republic

Please click to the right under Steedman ToK Wiki. Please take 20 min. to reflect on the day's discussion of Plato's Republic. Please be mindful that other classmembers will be able to read your posts. Feel free to disagree and comment on what other classmembers have said, but please be respectful and keep the tone academic and elevated. Do unto others....
Responses are due on October 2nd.

We will work on CAS in class on Wednesday, September 30th. Please read Chapter 2 of Grendel on Wednesday night in preparation for the Quiz and student presentation on Thursday, October 1st.
