Document Summary
12 questions, each is worth one point 10 points. A few words to 2 sentences (at most) All plato concepts (e. g. well-orderedness); concepts that reject and virtues. 5-6 confucian concepts zhong, shu, ren, li, yi. What it means to be well ordered desired, spiritedness; their functions. Re-read key passages and various selections (especially the ones talked about in lectures) The natural (care) as a way of life. Previously we examined a natural life exemplified by thrasymachus a life of aggression, causing others suffering, taking advantage of others, out-doing. The portrait of thrasymachus in the republic is a caricature of one aspect of a natural, humaneness. The more aggressive side of our nature is easier to reject (plato) reductio ad absurdum (assume what the opposition thinks is true and point out a view common sense idea and it ends up in a contradiction) Care ethics is focusing on individuals vs. confucianism is focusing.
