  • Prompt for Eco essay, "When the Other Appears on the Scene"
  • "The following letter is Eco’s reply to a question the cardinal had asked him: “What is the basis of the certainty and necessity for moral action of those who, in order to establish the absolute nature of an ethic, do not intend to appeal to metaphysical principles or transcendental values, or even to universally valid categorical imperatives?”"
  • New Yorker article on "Biology of Violence," [1] suggesting that criminal subcultures are following "legitimate" evolutionary strategies.
  • If Facebook were Yelp [2]
  • Here is a link giving a synopsis of the book Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. It is about how people can make choices within the blink of an eye. This kind of relates to the "elephant" we have been discussing in class.

[3]

  • Additionally, I have posted a link to the book Think by Michael LeGault. It is a counterargument to Gladwell's Blink discussing why serious decisions cannot be made quickly - "the rider" so to speak.
