Really neat article about Michael J. Sandel HERE with links to his televised ethics course. The nicest bits concern how discussion-heavy ethics classes modelled on Sandel's are being set up in Japanese and Chinese universities and how the web available versions of Sandel's course have made him a rock star in these countries.
One of the coolest recent conversations I've had was when Emily and I saw Greg Restall at the Boston APA. Greg's taught logic part time at a Chinese university and it was just fascinating to hear about it.
It's great how philosophy really can bridge quite different cultures and encourage both globe crossing discussions and friendships.
