Objective
- Evaluate our school's attempts to "educate the whole person" in an Aristotelian way through an assembly about alcohol and decision-making.
Agenda
- No Written Warm-Up
- How To Watch Philosophically
- Be open minded, but take an analytical approach.
- Analyze the rhetorical approach: Is this argument logical? Reliance on emotional appeal? Does it hold up on a universal level?
- Is he making an appeal to your personal happiness, ethics, or both?
- Evaluate the form of moral reasoning: Is the advice given deontological, consequentialist, and/or an appeal to virtue?
- Think about philosophers. Ex: What would Kant say about this?
- Look at the overall approach in terms of phronesis (practical wisdom). Does this educational program achieve its ends? If so, what's good about it. If not, is there a better way to do so? Is the ends futile, irrelevant, or unneeded?
- Assembly
- Discussion / Reflection
