I imitate Michael Sandel, his lecture at TED and Harvard University.

TED: The lost art of democratic debate

Harvard: Justice

He is a genius, I think. He is recongnised well. one of the reason is because he is a good teacher.
Now you may say well thats obvious enough, but the real questions is when it comes to arguing who deserves a good teacher and why?

To determine the definition of the good teacher, we have to reason about and sometimes argue about the purpose of the teacher and the essential nature of that.

First, the purpose, of the good teacher is to bring out the best in someone, in this case, I think.
Teacher should be the professional who can find the possibility and raise it of someone. Why?
Because the students can get recognition, admiring and honoring, not because the teacher would get the fame.

Second, the essential nature of the thing, in this case, the teacher, is to make someone like a teacher who can draw out of each student. "Real education consists in drawing the best out of yourself."(Gandhi)(真の教育とは己の中から最善のものを引き出すことにある―ガンジー)

it is hard to decide the purpose and the nature of the thing or the social activity, of course, but for this reason, we have to think about that because we live questioning all the time.




Sandel says, we need to rediscover the lost art of democratic argument.
If you think about the arguments we have these days over various issue. most of the time its shouting matches on television, ideological battle. We rarely notice the bottom part of the issue. The contemporary issue is based on big questions of justice, big questions of moral philosophy.

So what i want to do today is to have something of discussion. First let me take a famous philosopher who wrote about justice in ancient Athens. Let us see whether his idea actually inform the way we think and argue about the questions today.
Let me give you a very short lecture on Aristotle, his theory about justice.
So you ready for the lecture?

According Aristotle, justice means giving people what they deserve.

ねむすぎますのでまた書きます!失礼します。

According to Aristotle (woodlousewife)

I'vd found Aristotle's definition of essential nature. According to Aristotle, essence is "all parts immanent in things which define and indicate their individuality, and whose destruction causes the destruction of the whole" (Metaphysics 5.8.3, as translated in Aristotle 1933)
