Document Summary
Lecture 9: libertarians, rawls, and aristotle on justice by prof. william thompson. Academic potential: grades, sat scores, extra-curricular activities, special talents. Needs/goals of college: legacies, athletes, gender balance, religious balance, ethnic/racial diversity, political diversity. Compensatory fairness: members of disadvantaged groups, disadvantaged individuals. Societal goals: improving services to minority communities. Rawls suggests that those with talent and endowments use the rewards from these to benefit society as a whole: natural talents are not your own. You didn"t create them and you don"t deserve them more than other people do. Whether we deserve a particular thing depends on its purpose: (e. g. ) Teleos (purpose) can be contested, but to think about purpose (what is best) is to think like aristotle: conan on what is best: http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=6pq6335puoc. The primary purpose of the law is to cultivate the habits that lead to good character: legislators make the citizen good by forming habits in them, and this is the wish of every legislator.
