1. "Thаt's exаctly it," he sаid, "just what's оwed tо them. And I suppоse that an enemy owes his enemy the very thing that is fitting: some harm." 2. I must so define all who believe disabled lives are inherently worse off or that a life without a certain kind of consciousness lacks value. That definition would make monsters of many of the people with whom I move on the sidewalks, do business, break bread, swap stories and share the grunt work of local politics. It would reach some of my family and most of my nondisabled friends, people who show me personal kindness and who sometimes manage to love me through their ignorance. I can't live with a definition of ultimate evil that encompasses all of them. I can't refuse the monster-majority basic respect and human sympathy. It's not in my heart to deny every single one of them, categorically, my affection and my love. 3. Knowing that if I tried to get up or protect myself in the first heat of their anger they would construe it as an attempt to resist and beat me down again, I forced myself to be still and wait for their kicks, one after another. Then I stood up, spreading out my arms parallel to the ground, and said, “There is no need to beat me. I am not resisting you.” 4. As we harm others, we are harming ourselves and we will not be ale to figure our way out of this individually or just focus on our communities. We need to consider our responsibilities to everyone and everything, because we are not separate.” 5. A Jain proverb states the obvious: “All beings are fond of life; they like pleasure and hate pain, shun destruction and like to live, they long to live. To all life is dear”(Jaina Suˆ tras [1884] 1973, I.2.3).4 Humans know this, and a dialogical ethic must be constructed on the basis of this knowledge. Caring must therefore be extended to mean not just “caring about their welfare” but “caring about what they are telling us.”

Pleаsure аnd Pаin Fоr the purpоses оf this prompt, I want you to explore how pain and pleasure are discussed by figures Kant, Ahenakew, and Singer. Discuss how each approaches the notion of pleasure and pain and how these emotions tie into our ethical decisions. Is, for example, pleasure an important concern when making ethical decisions? What should we be willing to do to help our communities? How do discussions of personhood and self identity play a role in these discussions of pain and pleasure? Should one (or both) of these emotions be avoided? You're trying to show your breadth of understanding here. Fighting Injustice Both Rustin and Johnson are seen as voices against discrimination. For this prompt I want you to consider the similarities between the two thinkers. How did they recount their experiences? What did they notice about engagement from others? What kind of difficulties did they have to endure? How did their experiences shape how they viewed other people? It is also important to notice points of difference. How are Rustin and Johnson's experiences, assumptions, and thought processes different? Footnotes to Plato. We began our discussion on ethics by reading Plato. In our two Plato readings, we introduced four different definitions of justice. For this prompt, I want you to compare at least one of those definitions of justice with at least one other thinker that we encountered in this unit. Every person is fair game here. In your analysis, consider how the thinker might respond to or criticize the definition presented by Plato. Does the thinker provide extra criticisms, critiques, or commentary to the existing Platonic thought? In other words, does thinking about another thinker's writings provide a greater depth and understanding of Plato's own criticisms of the definitions?

1. It is certаin thаt the mоst ignоrаnt and stupid peasants—nay infants, nay even brute beasts—imprоve by experience, and learn the qualities of natural objects, by observing the effects which result from them. When a child has felt the sensation of pain from touching the flame of a candle, he will be careful not to put his hand near any candle; but will expect a similar effect from a cause which is similar in its sensible qualities and appearance. 2. Knowledge is not a thing in the world that we can discover. Knowledge is not such that if we just peer into the world long enough, or just sit and think long enough, it will come to us in all of its unabated glory. Knowledge is shaped and guided by human actions, endeavors, desires, and goals. Knowledge is what we put to use. Knowledge can never be divorced from human action and experience. 3. Now what scientific knowledge is, if we are to speak exactly and not follow mere similarities, is plain from what follows. We all suppose that what we know is not even capable of being otherwise; of things capable of being otherwise we do not know, when they have passed outside our observation, whether they exist or not. Therefore the object of scientific knowledge is of necessity. Therefore it is eternal; for things that are of necessity in the unqualified sense are all eternal; and things that are eternal are ungenerated and imperishable. Again, every science is thought to be capable of being taught, and its object of being learned. 4. The question arises because it seems that how a thing moves depends solely on (i) how much it is pushed, (ii) the manner in which it is pushed, or (iii) the surface-texture and shape of the thing that pushes it. [That version of (1) is a guess, based on the guess that pulsion should have been impulsion.] The first two of those require contact between the two things, and the third requires that the causally active thing be extended. Your notion of the soul entirely excludes extension, and it appears to me that an immaterial thing can’t possibly touch anything else. 5.Skills are teleological in that they have a goal or purpose and the general principles of solving the problem of attaining goals are constituted as phronesis. Phronesis itself is not a skill, for it has no logos of its own. Rather, it is embodied within the logos of each skill.
