I loved this presentation, as Dr. Hooker made me laugh and prompted me write some supplementary notes while listening and watching. Rare talent for a professor in a world of stuffy professors. I'm on my Capstone project from my MBA, and this presentation helped bring to life Ethics as Rational Choice. Well done and thank you. ♥

I like the professor and the the topics. What more I like is that I can sit at home and be comfortable and not have to drive to college, and learn in a better way than I would in a class room by replaying the missed parts. Thank you, Tepper, for posting it on the internet.

Expert disagreement violates transitivity and completeness. Contradiction. Individual choices aggregate up to intransitive social choices, which in turn constrain individual choices. Contradiction. Hooker's arguments were made by Locke and Hume. Kant addressed these problems. In other words, not only is Kant current, but his system is consistent in ways that Hooker's is not.
