Just want to give a shout out to the Harvard professor - Michael Sandel.
He has become world famous over the past couple of years as a result of his brilliant lectures on moral philosophy. Usually this can be quite a dry and boring subject. But the way Sandel teaches it is unique and interesting.
He stands before hundreds of students and poses thought experiments to help tease out their reasoning through difficult problems. The back and forth he has with the audience is wonderful, and often funny. I have never seen lectures given in such a compelling way. It is Scoratic dialogue at its best - and brings philosophy back to the way it was originally done 2500 years ago.
So - for those looking for something fun and educational. You should go spend some time with the professor...
