As I came to teach ethics more online than in person, I discovered the value of short Youtube lectures. The unfolding Youtube collection is available here. Over the last few years, I have worked quite hard to construct a truly practical introduction to ethics with a focus on questions of character, habit, and attitude. The spine of this course is the opening lecture series, which develops first the distinction between traditional and critical ethics and then the idea of Plato's Republic as a kind of nest in which several different lines of investigation are nurtured. The lectures below are the principal items in that series:
Succeeding in an Ethics Course
Confucius and the Golden Rule: Two Starting Points for Learning About Ethics
Confucius and Plato: Traditional and Critical Approaches to Thinking About Ethics
Heroes
What is selfishness?
Freedom and Resistance
Plato and the Principles of Community
Plato and John Bondhuis: Constructing the Places Where People Live
Talking Monsters Out of Being Monsters: Considerations from Plato's Republic
